Port Fairy Folk Festival

Port fairy folk festival 2027!
5/03/2027 - 8/03/2027

After our trial in 2026, we're bringing some awesome camping solutions to the Port Fairy Showgrounds for 2027.
Adding to the excitement of the 50th-year celebrations, we'll have a full range of Tent Village and Glamping packages available!

Our pre-pitch service means you simply turn up, and everything will be set up ready for you. Then, you leave it for us to pack up at the end of your stay! We'll confirm your tent location at least 2 hours before your check-in time and email directions so you can locate your tent.
You'll still need to check in on-site to get your wristband and any info needed.

To make your trip as cost-effective as possible, we've built in the entry fee to the Port Fairy Showgrounds Camping Grounds. Please note, the Showground terms and conditions still apply to your entry and stay in the campground.
