National Celtic Folk Festival

Let’s get this party started.

The National Celtic Folk Festival is back for 2021 and ready to celebrate a top national line up and an opportunity to bring a community and the arts back together!
Portarlington on the northern Bellarine Peninsula will fire up again right across the June long weekend with the best Folk and Celtic live acts in Australia. But in 2021 the festival is so much more than simply great music and culture. It’s the festival’s belated 18th birthday and they’re celebrating like never before. So come and join the party.

The festival caters for all age groups. It’s a great place to come with friends and family to experience the culture and arts or just have a great day, night or weekend out.

This year’s festival program will run across a range of venues, the foreshore will become a festive winter party.

Warm your hands with a hot chocolate or mulled wine, delight your tastebuds with food from near and far and soak up the vibes and friendly Celtic spirit.

And rest assured if you do not have a ticket this year, there is still plenty to explore around the event with markets, entertainment, pipers, highland cattle and local produce all weekend.
