CresFest Inc

CresFest is a folk and roots music festival in the forested gold rush town of Creswick, nestled between Daylesford and Ballarat.

The whole town (gold rush-era buildings, local pubs, cafes and outdoor venues) come alive with intimate performances by celebrated contemporary folk and roots artists and countless ways to join in the fun: blackboard concerts, sessions, family bush dance, busking festival, youth stage, music and dance workshops for all-ages, local’s talent quest, and more.

Or sit back and enjoy the performances, sample local wine and produce, explore the history of the town, and take advantage of premium accommodation options.
Creswick is just 1.5 hours’ drive from Melbourne, between Daylesford and Ballarat. It is accessible via V/Line on the Maryborough route.
