The River Folk Festival 2026

A boutique three-day arts, music, and cultural festival featuring international, national, and local performing artists.

Regional events and experiences worth planning around while you base yourself in Warburton.

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when music meets the mountains. It’s in the way the sound carries through the trees and settles into the valley air. In October 2026, that magic is coming to our doorstep for The River Folk Festival.

This isn’t your typical loud, crowded festival. It is a boutique three-day affair designed to celebrate the best of arts, music, and culture. The festival will take over multiple venues across Warburton, turning the town into a living stage from the 2nd to the 4th of October.

The lineup is a thoughtful blend of scale and soul. You can expect to see international touring acts sharing the space with national names and, most importantly, our own local performing artists. It is a celebration of raw talent, diverse sounds, and the stories that connect us to this place.

Whether you are here for the international headliners or to discover a local musician playing in a quiet corner of the township, the festival promises a deep dive into the creative spirit of the region. It is three days of culture woven into the fabric of Warburton.

As the festival settles into the town, the rhythm of the valley changes. The streets feel a little more alive, the air feels a little more resonant, and the local connection feels a little stronger.

Plan your trip to the valley and join us for a weekend of honest music and local charm.
