The TABLELAND FOLK FESTIVAL @ Yungaburra
What?The Tablelands Folk Festival (formerly Yungaburra Folk Festival from 2002-2009), is a world class, boutique folk festival without the crowds, held in the stunning Yungaburra heritage village.
A packed weekend of entertainment from the emerging to the established artists, the 31st Festival in 2011 has a selection of entertainers, performing quality original music, live right in front of you. You will be riveted onsite for the duration.
About one third of the acts are of national acclaim, supported by the best from Far Nth Qld. Our locals are not a lower quality of performance, on the contrary – the locals acts are as good as you’ll find anywhere, e.g. local world class headliner Kamerunga.
Music genres range from Traditional Australian Folk, Celtic, Irish, Country Folk, Lap-slide Blues, Bluegrass, Hot Swing Jazz, Latin Gypsy, Punk Folk, Middle East & Indian, Tropical Swing, Reggae, and plenty of Contemporary Folk.
