Celebrate our birthday with over 200 musicians, singers, dancers and poets at the historic and picturesque village of Cobargo which is situated on the south coast of NSW (south of Batemans Bay and three hours from Canberra.)

Performers and audiences alike have described this Festival as "the best little folk festival in the country" (Bob McInnes - Cornstalk Gazette.) The Festival will be held again at the Cobargo Showground which has excellent onsite camping, hot and cold showers etc. It's a short walk to the Cobargo village where there is a good pub, coffee shops and an excellent supermarket where you can purchase your stores. There's also some tempting craft and antique shops.

The featured instrument for the 2005 Festival is the voice. Local and national choirs and singing groups will be highlighted.

Of course there are concerts, workshops, dances, poets breakfasts, comedy acts, sessions, sessions and more sessions, plus intimate blackboard concerts, exotic food stalls, bar and refreshments. This is a very friendly festival and judging from the many accolades from last year's festival, it just keeps getting better!

Special kid's activities are planned to keep the young ones entertained. Kids will have the opportunity to participate in musical and artistic activities.

The Cobargo Folk and Music Festival has become a regular treat for residents of the South Coast and many visitors from NSW and interstate. You might like to stay awhile and explore this beautiful region. There's a lot to do - beautiful beaches nearby and the historic town of Tilba nearby. Visit Bega Cheese and our many wineries, explore the stunning local national parks.

So for a great time - HEAD FOR COBARGO!!!!

Earlybird tickets (weekend only) $50 Adults, Youth $25, kids under 12 free
