Canberra Events

National Folk Festival

Thousands of entertainers, from story-tellers to circus clowns, and folk singers to crafters, gather together each Easter in Canberra for a mammoth folk-fest. No stone on the vast field of Australia’s multi-cultural population is left unturned in this exciting themed event in a cleverly created village atmosphere. Besides a full concert programme, dance performances, poetry readings, free music lessons and children’s entertainment the festival offers thrilling shopping opportunities at hundreds of stalls and plenty of delicious food, from paella to pizza and beyond.
