While there is much focus on 2027, as the famed festival’s 50th anniversary, there’s still another event to embed on your calendars first. The 2026 Port Fairy Folk Festival (PFFF) runs over the Labour Day long weekend, which next year falls on 6-9 March. The long established and beloved event goes from strength to strength, with its relaxed and easily accessible vibe drawing crowds of music lovers year after year.

The Festival is renowned for featuring headline draw card acts, alongside myriad less familiar performers that can be discovered by attendees strolling between the tents in the main arena or the nearby venues around the village. And next year will be no different.
