Wintermoon Festival
Set in the foothills of the north-east boundary of the Eungella National Park, this quiet rural setting beside the beautiful St Helens Creek comes alive with hundreds of festival-goers seeking the wonderful world music and the camaraderie with people who enjoy their escape to tranquillity. The fact that it’s family-friendly is a big attraction to those with little ones. Camps rapidly appear on land that was once an orchard and strains of guitars, fiddles, mandolins and flutes can be heard from spontaneous folk performances around the site.
The festival not only boasts some of the best world music performers from Australia but also showcases some of our local talent on three stages strategically placed at various locations within the grounds. If one artist is not to your taste, you can stroll off and check out what's happening on one of the other stages.s
As well as music, there are market stalls selling mostly hand-made items or offering massage or holistic health services. And you won't go hungry either with a variety of fare from the Hare Krishna vegetarian food to the more familiar burgers and everything in between.
