About Maleny Music Festival
Our boutique Festival, run by community volunteers, is set in the lush Hinterland of the Sunshine Coast and held in the Maleny Showgrounds. This is the site of the original Maleny Folk Festival. We commenced in 2012 on the 25th anniversary of the first event which grew and went on to become the Woodford Folk Festival.
Our family friendly Festival has become renowned for its relaxed, intimate and casual atmosphere.
The usual Festival programme features acts based in Queensland and from overseas, performing over 2 to 4 stages and in the streets.
With a diverse programme of acoustic based acts to dance bands, comedy, poetry, workshops and street entertainment there is something for all ages. Food and market stalls combined with on-site camping, create your village for a get-away from it all in Maleny.
The Showgrounds are only a short walk up the hill to the shops and cafes of Maleny so come on up for a great weekend to enjoy with family and friends.
Tickets for the 2024 Maleny Music Festival are now available here: BOOK NOW
