Welcome to the Festival in the Village

The Cygnet Folk Festival offers a unique “Village Festival” experience to performers and festival goers alike.  Located in the scenic Huon Valley just fifty minutes south of Hobart, the historic village of Cygnet sits beside Port Cygnet Bay, home to the beautiful black swans which give the bay its name.

The annual 3 day event transforms the entire village of Cygnet into a vibrant festival space with undercover concerts in its heritage buildings, street performers, children's concerts, workshops, casual unplanned jam sessions in local pubs topped off with a festival parade. Add to this the restaurants, cafes and market stalls selling speciality cuisine using local organic products and other stalls selling crafts made by local artisans.

The Festival attracts local, interstate and overseas performers who enjoy performing to appreciative, attentive audiences while festival goers get to enjoy the relaxed village ambiance combined with great entertainment.

The Festival organisers, Huon Folk Inc, invite you to come and enjoy the hospitality and entertainment at the Cygnet Folk Festival.
