The annual Illawarra Folk Festival is held over three days. The 2025 festival will feature 8 venues with 90 acts.
The festival will include the sounds of folk, indie, world, roots, bluegrass, Balkan and Celtic music, as well as poetry, comedy and dance.
You can camp onsite or stay in top quality accommodation nearby. There is plenty of onsite carparking and Bulli train station is a short walk away.
