Now in its 22nd year the Yackandandah Folk Festival is promoted as the greenest music festival in Australia and seeks to provide a broad range of entertainment including music, dance, song, poetry, literature, theatre, film, visual arts and food all aimed at further developing and preserving Australian folk culture.



Like many places in Victoria Yackandandah was born of the gold rush but, unlike many other sites it continued to flourish once the gold had petered out.

Today its tree-lined main street retains much of its early architecture leading to the commercial centre of town, known as the Yackandandah Conservation Area, being listed on the Register of National Estate.

Community-based and staged over three days the Yackandandah Folk Festival provides a great excuse to escape to northeast Victoria and to this fantastically well preserved township.



The star-studded line-up for 2019 includes names like All Strings Attached, Black Orchid String Band, Cat and Clint, Claire Anne Taylor, Marcia Howard, Nicky Bomba and Paige Black, to name just a few.

Day Tickets at the gate cost Adults $60 for Friday & Sunday and $85 for Saturday, Youth (16 to 19 years) $45 each day and Children (5 to 15 accompanied by an adult) $6 daily.

Adult 3-day event tickets purchased at the box-office cost $135, Concession $125 and Youth (16 to 18 years) $45.



Being at the centre of one of Victoria's premier tourism regions you can be sure there's plenty of great accommodation and eating options available.

Camping will be available in town throughout the festival. Go to the website for full details and costs.
