The Auckland Folk Festival Is Back for Their 51st Anniversary!
January 16th, 2024
One of the oldest folk festivals in the Southern Hemisphere is back in 2024, bringing exceptional artists from around Aotearoa and around the world.
After a rough start to the year following the Auckland Anniversary Weekend floods of 2023, the Auckland Folk Festival is back in 2024! We are pleased to announce a fantastic line-up with incredible talent from NZ and around the world.
You’ll be spoiled for choice as some of the best traditional and contemporary folk musicians and folk dancers come together to showcase our amazing genre. Whatever your taste in folk music there will be something for you to savour.
If you want to participate in one of the blackboard concerts or numerous dance and musical workshops, so much the better. If you’d rather dance the night away, then there are venues for you. And in the wee small hours don’t forget to wander around and catch some of the magic jam sessions and sing-alongs.
Food trucks will be cooking up a storm all weekend, offering up a wide range of options, along with something to quench your thirst. Our Kids Stage and Zone is growing year by year and there will be other child activities and spaces.
To absorb the friendly family vibe, try camping for the weekend.
The Festival will kick off on Friday evening at 7pm, and music will run ’til late on Sunday night.
