THE FESTIVAL IS ON

Easter weekend
6th-9th April 2012

It is the intention of the Festival to support local artists for the 2012 Festival. As is well known the devastating earthquakes have impacted heavily on the local music scene and the Festival wishes to offer the opportunity and support to local Folk Musicians.

There will be the same high standard of performance and workshops as Canterbury is blessed with a wealth of talented musicians.

Everyone is welcome to be a part of this unique, friendly festival experience just 40 minutesnorth of Christchurch in the picturesque and historic Waipara Valley, amongst North Canterbury's famous vineyards.

An unashamedly great weekend consisting of:

  • concerts
  • workshops
  • barn dance
  • jam sessions
  • festival Choir
  • childrens programme

The fine "folk" of our sister festival in Canada
have made a very generous donation towards our festival's recovery from the Canterbury earthquakes. A cheque was presented at a very emotional moment at the begining of Graham's set during their festival
