Fleurieu Folk Festival

Fleurieu Folk Festival Fleurieu Folk Festival is South Australia's premier folk music festival held in picturesque Willunga at Recreation Park
(2)

The Fleurieu Folk Festival is a multiple-award winning festival that presents a weekend of music concerts and sessions, dance, workshops, open mic concerts, folk jams, children’s entertainment, stalls, and more. The Fleurieu Folk Festival is South Australia’s largest folk music festival. Set in the picturesque town of Willunga on the Fleurieu Peninsula, every October, we transform Willunga’s Recre

ation Park into a global musical village. That village includes several covered venues, multicultural food and craft stalls, a festival bar, on-site camping and facilities, a dance stage, a children’s festival, and music enthusiasts playing together in every niche and corner. Each year, the Festival carefully chooses the best local, interstate and international folk musicians, covering a broad range of genres including traditional, acoustic, Celtic, blues, roots, bluegrass and Americana. The Fleurieu Folk Festival provides a wide range of activities for children, including a song and dance activities, children’s entertainment, and all kinds of shows that will appeal to the whole family! The Festival is managed completely on a volunteer basis, by a dedicated organising committee of 12, subcommittees and a hard-working brigade of over 140 volunteers. The Festival’s continuing aim is to support live performance, folk music, dance and poetry; nurture youth to be involved in all aspects of the Festival and encourage indigenous, multicultural performance and expression. Fleurieu Folk Festival recognises and pays respect to the 𝗞𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, who are the traditional owners of Willunga. We recognise their connection to land, waters and community and pay our respects to them, their cultures, and their Elders, past and present. The Willunga Basin is named after the Kaurna place name, Willangga, which is a traditional Kaurna cultural landscape rich with the history of the Kaurna Meyunna, the Kaurna People.

Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS) are the transpacific-troubadours known as Those Folk. A partnership forged in the fires of folk music, their songwriting explores love, hope, belonging, and the human condition. Breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work performed on guitar, accordion, mandolin and banjo. Their sound is inspired by iconic duos such as Simon & Garfunkel. Those Folk make not just folk music, but music for all sorts of folk.

Not only will they be filled with medieval village and mid-winter vibes, they are also bringing the best of music and dance to our event this year with a fabulous array of performers.
Morris Dancers, Mummers Players and Minstrels. Winter fires, warming whisky, delicious eats, hand crafts all village style. Knights in battle. Feats of
strength. And for the first time, music, live and loud into the evening with a feast and concert with local Pagan folk rockers Spiral Dance playing music to rock

of wood carving from expert craftsmen as they create beautiful hand-carved toys and kitchen tools before your eyes. Dive deep into Scottish history,
exploring tales from medieval times and beyond. Witness the fiery art of blacksmithing on site, where iron bends to the will of the skilled blacksmith.
