Neck Of The Woods is a family friendly music festival in Townsville, North Queensland curated by Neighbourhood Sessions in partnership with the Townsville City Council/Northern Fringe Festival.

Neck of the Woods celebrates Australian original music, and will host a lineup of up and coming Australian artists for a one night only event on the 4th of July in 2021. Neck Of The Woods Music Festival is returning to the community in 2021 after the heartbreaking cancellation of the 2020 festival. 

#NOTW has been reimagined with a few changes to keep the community safe in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival will be sneaking a little closer to the city this year, to a beautiful new home, Anderson Park Botanical Gardens, in the suburb of Mundingburra in Townsville. 

#NOTW will not include camping this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, however the festival will still feature much loved lifestyle activities such as yoga workshops, art installations, an interactive children’s area and a festival marketplace showcasing Townsville’s best street food and artisan market stalls.
