| Description: | Fairbridge Festival is an annual family-friendly celebration of folk, roots, blues, acoustic, celtic, a capella and world music in a traffic-free, self-contained bushland site at Fairbridge Village, South West Highway, 5 km north of Pinjarra, Western Australia.
The festival, now in its 17th year, is a grass-roots not-for-profit event which runs mostly on volunteer power. It is the fourth largest festival of its kind in Australia, and is unique in WA in that it runs dedicated children's and youth programs concurrently with the main program.
The children and youth festivals are, arguably, the best in Australia - with fantastic concert performances, music and circus skills workshops, craft workshops and the now famous Go for 2 & 5 kids and youth cooking classes, and a whole lot more! Fairbridge Festival is held in high regard in Australia and internationally, both for the quality of the concert program, and for the friendly, warm and inclusive attitude of the festival organisers - which is reflected in the joyful and uplifiting atmosphere of the festival.
The beautiful bushland setting, and traffic-free environment makes the festival safe and hassle-free for everyone.
Camping is available within the village, and all sites are in close walking distance to the festival precinct. |
