The action starts at 6pm on Friday with a concert featuring local & guest performers in "The Stadium", adjacent to the Recreation Ground. This will be the main concert venue with acts programmed all weekend and will be set out concert style with seating for about 300. There will be a small entry charge of $10 per day for this venue - the remainder of the Festival is entirely FREE! Other concerts will be held in the Aussie Cider "Village Marquee"located amongst the stalls in the Festival Village area, while the Young Performers Marquee will host the "Gen Y Folk" events and there will also be some concerts in the Football Clubrooms. This year the "blackboard concerts" will be held in the Cafe Acoustica marquee at the rear of the Football Clubrooms. Anyone wishing to perform at one of the blackboard concerts should approach the person co-ordinating that event on the day. Time slots for performance will be allocated as fairly as possible on a "first come, first served" basis. You will also be able to catch some of the performers giving cameo performances at venues in the Town, including the popular Christina's on High Street, the 3 Monkeys Cafe and Waverley Homestead.

On Saturday evening there will be a feature concert in the Stadium to showcase the special guests at this year's Festival - some of this year's feature acts include: Damien Howard & The Ploughboys (fresh from their tour of Europe & Scotland), Doug Ashdown (of "Winter in America" fame), Dave de Hugard, Cloudstreet, Tom Richardson (last year's favourite young performer), Spiral Dance (2009 Folk Awards winners), Chloe & Jason Roweth (NSW) and Alan Johnston (Scotland). Please check this page again in the near future for more details of this year's featured acts.

This year's Festival will once again have a big focus on youth and we'll be presenting some of Australia's finest young folk performers, as well as hosting two Young Talent Showcases and the "Gen Y Folk" events in the "Young Performers Marquee" and of course, there will be lots of children's entertainment as well.

Informal sessions will be held all weekend in the "Session Bar" marquee, "Cafe Acoustica" and hotels in the town. There will be family Bush Dances on Saturday and Sunday in the Show Hall adjacent to the Stadium. Other events, including the workshops, the bush poet's event and instrument exhibition will be held in the Recreation hall complex. There will also be lots of craft and food stalls, children's entertainment and plenty of other action around the Recreation Ground precinct and throughout the town itself.
