Auckland Folk Festival 2025

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. Keep up to date with announcements and information by following us on Facebook, Instagram or joining our mailing list.

Every visitor will be given a coloured wristband which should be worn at all times and will allow pass-outs if you need to go shopping just 5 minutes walk down the road.
