WA's premiere world and folk music festival with something for the whole family, young and old alike with 12 stages and 80 international and interstate acts, children’s and youth festivals, music, comedy, street theatre, markets, camping and workshops all in a beautiful natural bush land setting.
Folkworld Fairbridge Festival comes of age in 2013: April 26 - 28
Over two decades ago a festival was born from the contents of a collection of car boots and a passion for folk music and the bush. Now, 21 years on, the FolkWorld Fairbridge Festival is regarded as Western Australia's premier folk and world music event. The much-loved festival has become a calendar fixture for young and old along with everyone in between and regarded as one the state's best kept secrets.
Headline acts for 2013 include:
Amazing Drumming Monkeys / Kristina Olsen / Lucy Wise and The B'Gollies / Nicky Bomba's Bustamento / Gleny Rae Virus and her Tamworth Playboys / A.J.Leonard / Laique / Tinpan Orange / Company / Pugsley Buzzard / BordererS / Vardos Macmaster/Hay / Saruzu Quartet / Mama Kin / Hussy Hicks / The Jam Tarts / Flap! / Bossa Pura / Andrew Winton / Kevin Dempsey / Frank Yamma / String Contingent / Sexteto Zona Sul / Squeebz / Enda Kenny Band / Paul Gioia Band

- To the west of the festival precinct, across from Kingsley Park and the cottages
- Bring your own tent or swag - no restrictions on size
- A popular area if you want plenty of space and you can pitch your tent on the lawn (yes - real, lovely lawn!)
- This area is closer to the Children's Festival, but not too far from anywhere really!
- A quiet time curfew of 2.00 am Sat, Sun & Mon
- No cars or wheeled camp vehicles are allowed on the Oval Tent City camping area
- Your car must be parked in the area indicated or outside the front gate
- All camping gear will require transporting from your vehicle to your site, so trolleys and backpacks are recommended
COSY CAMPING ON THE OVAL
Don't want to bring your tent, can't be bothered to blow up a mattress but want the full festival camping experience? Then Cosy Camping is for you.
Once again, this year, we are offering 'tents we've set up earlier'. If you book into the Cosy Camping area situated on the Oval, close to beautifully refurbished amenities, then all the hard work is done for you. Your tent, camping bed and mattress will be supplied by Getaway Outdoors and set up by their friendly staff. All you have to bring is your bedding, torch and favourite stuffed toy and your home for the weekend is set-up and ready to go. And best of all, at the end of the festival, tired from all the festivities, you don't have to take your tent down and pack it away. We've packages for 2, 4 and 6 people that cover your weekend festival tickets, camping fees and the tents, all ready for you to move in. Each tent contains two, four or six single camp beds with plenty of room to spare. And now that you don't have as much stuff to bring, you can easily car pool to help minimise vehicles onto the festival site. Awesome! A limited number of reserved parking bays for Cosy Camping ticket holders are located at the southern end of the Oval.
