2023 National Celtic Folk Festival

Our 2023 event was one for the books. The sun was shining, guests were smiling, and the music was craicing!

Thank you to our festival community – participants and attendees who gathered in Portarlington from across Australia to celebrate the diversity of Celtic culture in the context of the Australian Folk scene – our program was jam pack full this year, and we hope you enjoyed all that was on offer across the arts.

To our volunteers, stallholders, clans and associations, partners, photographers, contractors, suppliers, hosts and, of course, the lineup of amazing ARTISTS who shared so much across the festival weekend – what a feast ... thank you!

Thanks also to the special projects programmed this year and the partners who worked with us to bring these to you.

Thank you and see you in 2024!
