Have you ever dreamt of playing at the Folkie?

Following on from the success of last year’s pilot program, Future Folk is back to support young emerging artists and performers from south west Victoria.

Supported by Moyne Shire Council through the Victorian Government’s FReeZA program, Future Folk gives participants aged between 12-25 a paid opportunity to share their music in front of a festival audience at Port Fairy. Plus they will have mentoring sessions with established artists who are performing at the Folkie. 

If you or someone you know would love a chance to be a part of the 2023 Port Fairy Folk Festival Future Folk program, and gain invaluable experience and skills.

We are proud to host one of the largest interactive hand made instrument exhibitions in Australia. Marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship that goes into creating your favourite instrument. This is no static exhibition; rather a vibrant and bustling hub of knowledge, information and the joy of playing.
