Bluegrass is great music. That’s why it heads up our festival. Our stage attracts world-class musicians; many come back each year to perform, to run workshops, and to join in the fun and inspiration of all that a Wirrina festival is.
Remember the new date the festival is November 16, 17 & 18 for 2018. We anticipate much better weather!
Last chance to apply now! We have received a wonderful array of applicants this year already. If you miss out for 2018, please consider coming along for the festival still. There are plenty of opportunities to play on the open mic stage and jamming/sessions go on around the clock (almost!). There will also be a program of workshops to participate in. This is a festival to bring your instruments and your voice along to.

Contact Holly and Ben at the Wirrina Cove Holiday Park if you would like to stay onsite at the festival. There are powered and unpowered camping sites plus a limited number of cabins available. Visit the Accommodate page for information about the site.
There are a variety of ways to participate in the festival.
There are plenty of opportunities to perform on the walk-up stage at a Wirrina Festival. Put your name on the blackboard list when you arrive. Two to three songs are generally allowed although the MC of each session will use their discretion. There will be jamming around the fire pits, in the dining room, and in the session tent throughout the festival. Come along!
This year we are asked patrons to please spare a thought for the environment and the volunteers who clean up after the festival. Thank you for helping us to reduce the rubbish. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
The Festival mugs and wine glasses proved to be a successful addition in 2017. The Holiday Park managers tell us that there was far less garbage to deal with—plastic cups and single-use disposable coffee cups. And as far as we know there were only a couple of breakages, which were cleaned up quickly and easily. They’ll be there again next year to purchase if you didn’t get one in 2017.
