Fleurieu Folk Festival

Fleurieu Folk Festival is back, bringing a weekend of grooves and good times to Willunga.

South Australia’s largest (and friendliest) annual folk festival is returning to Willunga Recreation Park from 21 – 23 October 2022, bringing a hoard of headliners to the peninsula – with early bird tickets on sale until 1 September!

Over 50 of the best local, national, and international folk musicians will be performing during the three-day event in picturesque Willunga – just 45 minutes south of Adelaide.

“The festival will be filled with world-class acts and will showcase some amazing local South Australian talent,” says festival director, Valerie Corfield.

“We’re even set to see Ella & Sienna again after their stint on the Voice Australia. It’s very exciting to have national talent return to their roots.”

“We’re also thrilled to provide a special venue – Cafe AcousticA – just for people who want to come along and play their own music and a Busk Stop for buskers!”

Promoting young South Australian musicians has always been a significant priority for the Fleurieu Folk Festival.

Valerie goes on to say, “Each year, we nominate an outstanding folk musician aged between 14 and 25 to represent South Australia in Folk Alliance Australia’s youth showcase concerts at the National Folk Festival in Canberra, helping to boost their profile and reach the next level of their career.”

This year, the festival is nominating Ella and Sienna for the award.

As well as local talent, world-class international acts will be performing, covering a range of genres including contemporary folk, Celtic, blues, Americana, roots, and much more.

The festival also boasts workshops on dance, musical theatre, kids’ entertainment, and even poetry, along with local food and drink stalls – meaning there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy.

After a number of years of Covid-19 related impacts, event organisers are excited to again grow the event in 2022 and attract strong support from attendees to support participating artists and musicians.

The festival is generously supported by the City of Onkaparinga, Bendigo Bank and Aussie Cider.
