​Cygnet Folk Festival 2019
Info, tickets and places to stay nearby

Picture
From the 10th - 12th of January 2020 the small town of Cygnet will again play host to the annual Cygnet Folk Festival. This is one of Australia’s most iconic folk music festivals. Very highly regarded by musicians and festival-goers from all over Australia and overseas, competition to come to Cygnet is at an all time high amongst performers, and last year we had a record number of applications! Nearby accommodation sells out, so book now to avoid disappointment.

This Festival is one of the most popular regional events in Tasmania and draws over 20,000 local, intrastate and interstate visitors through its 3 day program. This event is run by a voluntary committee.

The aims of the Festival are:
  • to offer folk, ethno, world, singer-songwriter, roots and acoustic music, dance, poetry and workshops from local, national and international artists.
  • to encourage interest in and awareness of folk music and associated activities to people of diverse ages and backgrounds.
  • to provide support and opportunities to young musicians.
  • to foster mutually beneficial relationships with the local community, businesses and associations.
