Geelong and the Bellarine host some of the most exciting annual festivals in Victoria, including unique offerings of music and dance!
The Queenscliff Music Festival came to life way back in 1996, establishing community support for the dream... for Queenscliff to host a great music festival.
The "Last Weekend in November" was chosen with the purpose of converting a lull in the tourist season into a peak time for the local tourism industry.
This vision is now a reality with Queenscliff Music Festival recognised as one of Tourism Victoria's honoured Hall of Fame inductees as well as nominated as an official Regional Victorian Hallmark Event. The event has also risen to national prominence, evidenced by the Australian Tourism title of "Most Significant Festival and Event".
The Queenscliff Music Festival charter is dedicated to adding value to the cultural development of our community. The first Festival was held in 1997 and has developed into a robust organisation with sound economic management.
QMF is instrumental in putting Queenscliff on the map nationally and increasingly, globally. The festival again promises to feature the depth and breadth of Australian contemporary artists and foster emerging talent. This year, the festival runs from 25-27 November.
