Sydney Folk Festival Postponed

Due to the increasing number of coronavirus cases in Greater Sydney and the likelihood that the current lockdown will be extended we have decided to postpone SydFolkFest21. We have great support from the City of Sydney to hold an event when things improve so, rather than cancelling it we are currently considering options for later in the year. We’ll let you know when we have some new dates.

Sydney Folk Festival is the Folk Federation of NSW’s flagship event.
