Thousands of folk music lovers converge on the Cobargo Showground over the first weekend in March to enjoy great music, workshops, spoken word events and to reconnect with family and friends, in a beautiful rural setting.

Presented by the Yuin Folk Club, the Cobargo Folk Festival is organised entirely by volunteers from the local community, who are supported by some 300 additional volunteers who join us from all over the country at Festival time to help stage this awesome event. Any profits raised during the festival go back into the community and the festival. Funds are used to fund the festival production and the artistic program, support local projects and music education and development in the region.

Cobargo Folk Festival is run by community, for community
