Discover the Magic of Cygnet Folk Festival! Nestled in the heart of the Huon Valley, the Cygnet Folk Festival is one of Tasmania's most loved summer celebrations—three vibrant days filled with music, stories, creativity, and community spirit. From January 9–11, the charming village of Cygnet comes alive as streets, halls, pubs, and paddocks transform into stages bursting with world-class folk, roots, acoustic, and traditional music. But it's not just about the music. At Cygnet you can join workshops, learn a new dance step, try songwriting, or get hands-on with craft and culture. The festival's bustling artisanal markets showcase local makers, delicious food, and the region's famous produce—perfect for grazing between gigs. Families are warmly welcomed, with kid-friendly performances, creative play spaces, and roaming entertainers adding a sprinkle of magic throughout the weekend. You'll also find thoughtful panels, storytelling sessions, and community choirs echoing through the historic town. Set against rolling green hills and apple orchards, Cygnet Folk Festival has a special kind of southern Tasmanian charm—laid-back, joyful, and deeply connected to place. Whether you're a dedicated folk fan or simply chasing a wholesome summer escape, it's the perfect way to experience the creativity and warmth of the Huon Valley.
