The Maldon Folk Festival is back from November 1st to 4th, bringing an array of talent from Ireland, Scotland, and more to the charming town of Maldon in Victoria. 

This year’s lineup includes Scotland’s own Alan Reid, Scots Singer of the Year finalist Fiona Ross, Celtic music classics from Réiltín Collective, the Irish tunes of Enda Kenny, and the distinct sounds of A Bit of English from Canberra.

Celebrating its 49th year, the festival promises an eclectic mix of music, poetry, and performance. Other notable acts include Alibi & The Wolves, Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham, Michael Waugh, and Alana Wilkinson. Attendees will also enjoy the diverse offerings from The Nightingales, Leroy Johnson & the Waterbag Band, and the engaging duo Sonia Smith & Glenn Skuthorpe Band. 

There will be a book launch by poet Steven Whiteside, storytelling by comedian Eric Purdie, and captivating dance performances by Britannia Morris and the O’Shea Academy of Irish Dancing. Families can explore the interactive space of The Connected Circus, while music lovers can revel in performances by the Woodend Warblers and Margaret Crichton’s festival choir.

Maldon is a historic town located in the heart of Central Victoria, Australia. It’s situated approximately 136 kilometers northwest of Melbourne. Known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, Maldon offers a charming glimpse into Australia’s gold rush era and serves as a picturesque setting for the annual Maldon Folk Festival.
