The Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival brings performers, musicians, families and music enthusiasts together for a weekend celebrating folk, bluegrass and old-time traditions in regional New South Wales. Through live performances, workshops, dancing and jam sessions, it fosters a welcoming community where participation, creativity and a shared love of acoustic music take centre stage.

Throughout the festival, audiences are encouraged to take part in workshops, jam sessions and community activities alongside a vibrant programme of live performances. This interactive atmosphere creates valuable opportunities for exhibitors to engage with visitors who value creativity, craftsmanship, music-related products and authentic local experiences.
