Time Out says

The annual Port Fairy Folk Festival is back in 2025 in a big way. Set across the March long weekend, the festival invites lovers of folk and country to come enjoy four days of world-class music.

With tickets selling out year after year, this sea breeze festival is once again on track to host a full house. Featuring some of the best of international and local talent, the line-up includes Missy Higgins, Peter Garrett, Kutcha Edwards, Cat Power, Troy Cassar-Daley, Bonny Light Horseman, Vika and Linda and much more. Aside from the big names, there are endless overseas names and emerging acts to discover, coming from all over to perform at this celebrated festival.  

The festival is also packed with music workshops, insightful talks, market shopping and so much more. The event takes over the entire township of Port Fairy for the weekend, with plenty of free gigs and events outside of the arena area. 

You can pick up tickets at the official website, and, as always, children 12 and under are free.
