About the Festival

The 24th Illawarra Folk Festival will be held at the Bulli Showground, 15km north of Wollongong and 70km south of Sydney. The festival was formerly held in Jamberoo. This will be the fourth festival at Bulli Showground. The Festival is organised by volunteers from the Illawarra Folk Club Inc. The Festival aims to present Australian and world folk music, song, dance, poetry and yarnspinning. There is a large emphasis on participatory events such as sessions, workshops and theme concerts. Generally there are around 200 events in 12 venues over 4 days.
