Folkie subscriber tickets out now
SUBSCRIBER tickets are now on sale for Australia’s favourite celebration of folk music.
Organisers of the annual Port Fairy Folk Festival are once again working hard behind the scenes to ensure the next event, scheduled to take place from March 6-9, 2026, will be a huge hit.
The long weekend in March will again see the stunning seaside village of Port Fairy host thousands of visitors across the three days.
Port Fairy Folk Festival organises recently released the first allocation of tickets for passionate Folkies, inviting music lovers from across the country to secure their seats stage-side and be a part of an unforgettable weekend of song, story and community.
Now in its 49th year, the festival boasts a passionate multi-generational audience which has nurtured fans through almost 50 years of inspiring folk music since its beginnings on the back of a truck at Southcombe Park in 1977.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Port Fairy’s coastal charm, the 2026 festival promises another world-class program.
The weekend will be filled with world-renowned singer songwriters, alongside extraordinary artists, local and international musicians, workshops, family-friendly entertainment and more.
Program director Justin Rudge said the 2026 program was shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, with artists to be announced from next month.
“We’re still on a high after this year’s amazing event, with more than 10,000 people joining us in the festival arena every day over the March long weekend,” Mr Rudge said.
“We’re gearing up to do it all again and have put subscriber tickets on sale so music lovers can start planning their Port Fairy getaway for next March.
“Every year the festival brings together diverse voices and traditions from across Australia and the world.”
Mr Rudge said that tradition would continue in 2026.
“We will have another stunning lineup, to be revealed later in the year, but until then we know our local audiences won’t want to wait to secure their spots.”
