Chair’s message from Port Fairy Spring Music Festival

Is it too late to wish all our supporters a “Happy New Year”?

All of us at the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival hope you all had a peaceful and enjoyable (and musical) festive season.

First, on behalf of the Artistic Directors, board and festival team, I want to thank everyone who came in 2025 and made the weekend so memorable. We had some lovely comments from many quarters and always appreciate hearing from you.

Second, I am very pleased to let everyone know that, just before Christmas, we learned that we would have a new 4-year funding agreement with Creative Victoria, our major government supporter.

This application process took considerable work from all involved and I would like to thank, in particular, the many supporters who wrote testimonials and letters which clearly showed how much the festival is appreciated and valued.

Now we can plan for the future with certainty and passion as we always do.

This year the festival is on from 9 October – 11 October. Save the date!!!!!

Best Wishes

Dear Fabulous Festival Faithful

It is with much elation that we have finally regathered in Port Fairy for our beloved 2022 Festival “Regeneration” after three long years of absence.

Presenting over thirty events in two-and-a-half days is a massive undertaking which is only possible with an army of superheroes!

Huge congratulations to our Festival team – the Board, the administration, the production crew, and the volunteers, for their tireless and monumental efforts.

Thanks to our sponsors

We acknowledge the Gunditjmara people, traditional owners of the areas now encompassing Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Woolsthorpe, and Portland, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
