MUSIC AT THE CREEK FESTIVAL: This annual family-friendly folk festival was established some 16 years ago, held roughly around the same time in November, by the Braidwood Folk Music Club (which apparently many of those who initiated it are still actively involved in the running of the festival), and is developed through the support of Waste Wise Events of the NSW government into one of the must see folk festivals in the region.
