About

Held at the Burke and Wills Winery near Heathcote, Vic., each year. This is one of the world’s smallest folk festivals, and is more like a private garden party with almost non-stop music and entertainment than a 'festival' per se. The event is held on the Labour Day weekend every March and usually attracts a full house of around 150 people. Consequently booking is initially by invitation, which means that priority is given to people who have attended before, and their friends, and if all tickets are not taken by the end of November it is then opened up to anyone. Despite the small size of the event the performers are mostly of international calibre and repute, and much of the audience are former Port Fairy Folk Festival attendees who now prefer the smaller and more intimate space of the Burke & Wills Folk Festival, where they can be up close and personal with great performers, and really enjoy the social side of the event too. Basic camping and decent showers and toilets. But this does need to be pre-booked, and may book out, so that we don’t overflow. Some local B&B accommodation can also be found, and day tickets are also available. The 2023 festival tickets cost $165, and day tickets $60. Payment is not needed with bookings, and there is no charge for camping, but we do ask campers to take their rubbish home with them where possible. No dogs please (including the camping ground.)
