The Woodford Folk Festival is a unique arts showcase, held over the New Year period. It focuses on artists living in Australia, but also features a generous gathering of special international guests, presenting over 2000 performers on numerous stages.

Visitors can also choose from a bewildering number of dance events, workshops, forums, street theatre, writers' and musicians' seminars, a film festival and competition, comedy sessions, acoustic jams, history forums, an entire children's festival and an Indigenous Murri Festival, not to mention late-night cabarets and spontaneous occurrences. It's one long and unmissable party, with a climax at the dawn of the New Year.
The details for the forthcoming Woodford Folk Festival are released in late October, but you can gauge the quality from 2007/2008's line-up, which included Celtic band Shooglenifty, pipe-playing That 1 Guy, Canadian rock singer Hawksley Workman, French museum TeTe, ska group Babylon Circus and ethnomusicologist Bob Brozman.
