Emerging Young Artists
Our young performers are the future of folk and SydFolkFest23 will offer many opportunities for young folk to get involved. We look forward to welcoming these young folk artists in 2023. We’ll be hosting FolkFedNSW’s Young Folk Artists of the Year in a special Youth Concert.

just wondering if anyone from the Sydney folk festival could confirm that the festival is actually happening August 15-17 this year 2025 and whIch suburb in Sydney it is going to be held in please. I live in the bush and would like to book accomodation in Sydney for it. Hear from someone please. Thanks Noel
G'day folk friends! Just letting you know that, counter to our last post (a year ago!) the Sydney Folk Festival will not be on this year. Possibly next year - we'll keep you posted.

Sad but understandable. For those of us who want to stay o'night in Sydney, the exorbitant cost of accommodation is out of our reach. Let's meet in the country, eg Blue Mountains 😊
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully 2026 will work out for you guys. <3
