I’m 17, but have only missed 2 festivals in my lifetime. Port Fairy is such a magnificent little town, and the festival is just awesome. There is so much to do there, and it is always a highlight of the year.
Absolutely beautiful place and the folk festivals adds such a buzz….
Unbelievably good music festival - for so many reasons. Need a week off to get over it!!
I attend the Port Fairy Folk festival each year without fail. It gives me the opportunity to listen & enjoy first class performers without having to travel long distances. The weekend also allows me to catch up with friends that attend the festival, a yearly pilgrimage, would’t miss it at all costs ! It really is a great event.
This is terrible, awful, not worth visiting. Believe me - would I lie to you, just because I wish to go and find parking, a seat, enjoy the music and the food that all blow me away with fewer people around???
Every time that I have been it has been terrible, but I will go again to give them another chance - just YOU do not need to come
(Get my drift - seriously, one visit and you WILL return again and again and you may wish to keep it all to your self)
My wife and I stayed in Port Fairy with family from overseas on the river, and it was just lovely to wander around town the boats on the river walks along the waterfront the history of Port Fairy it was truly memorable.
A “must go” event with plenty of music, entertainment, good food and very friendly locals. Port Fairy is one of the prettiest towns in Victoria.
Something for everyone - well organised - friendly atmosphere - great location
One of the best music festivals in the country in one of the best settings in the country. Congratulations to the organisers for all the hard work they put into this event. I cant wait for next year.
Loved every minute of this weekend.
