Cobargo Folk Festival 2025
Running a folk festival is a year-round event.Early in May our festival team leaders and Yuin Folk Committee members got together for a day to look in detail at the results of the 2024 festival, see what we did well and what can be improved for 2025. Our thanks to all who came along.
Each year, we survey patrons, performers and volunteers and look at their comments and suggestions. We’re glad to say that majority of comments were positive and that we’ve taken on-board any constructive comments and criticism.
Performer Expressions of Interest will open for our 2025 Festival which will run from 28 February to 2 March.
Later in the year — around about October – we will be putting out a call for volunteers, without which the festival wouldn’t be possible.
You might be surprised to know that we’ve calculated the value of our volunteers – including organising committee members who work throughout the year – at over $700,000.
That said, the costs of running the festival have increased substantially in the past few years- driven by inflation and particularly increased fuel prices.
We are very aware of cost-of-living increases on festival goers and we are intent on keeping our ticket prices at a reasonable level and providing great value for money.
We expect early bird tickets to be available towards the end of September but put 28 February to 2 March in your diaries and, if you’ve enjoyed our festival in the past, try to bring some friends who haven’t been to this beautiful event.
