Woodford Folk Festival: The Family Holiday Destination With A Difference This December

For those heading to Queensland these Christmas holidays, the iconic annual Woodford Folk Festival is a destination that provides world class entertainment and fun for the whole family in a nurturing environment.

Woodford Folk Festival takes place from December 27th - January 1st and is held on a 500-acre environmental parkland, Woodford, located on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, on Jinibara Country, which is just over 1 hour north of Brisbane, at the beautifully created "Woodfordia" village site. Bring the family as a day trip or a week long camping adventure; the Woodford Folk Festival explores the full breadth and depth of cultural, artistic, social and food diversity Australia has to offer.

Whilst the grownups and big kids can enjoy over 430 different acts across the 35 different venues including music, street theatre, circus acts and indigenous and multicultural arts, the little ones can flourish and play at their very own 'Kids' Festival' within Woodford, encompassing eight different venues just for them. Amongst these, "Big Paint" is a workshop hub offering activities like costume creating, candle decorating, festival bag designing and screen printing and the Stardust Theatre concert venue features children's entertainment. There is also a circus lair and for those developing their green thumb, "Green Hands", an environmental art group. The Woodford Folk Festival offers a child minding service for a fee at The Land of Nod, available daily.
