he Festival is held at the Dorrigo Showgrounds on Gumbaynggirr Country, a 5 minute drive from the Dorrigo National Park and Rainforest Centre at the top of the mountain. We are lucky to be set in the area of World Heritage Listed Gondwana rainforest. Dorrigo and its surrounds is also home to many beautiful cascading waterfalls including Dangar Falls, 2 minutes drive from the Showground. The festival is held in Spring every year over the last weekend of October, when nature is at its finest and you can enjoy a fresh dip or a stroll in the green hills.

The Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival Inc. is a not-for profit event run completely by volunteers. The current committee is made up of Bridget Rees, Angela Sommers Rees, Beth Henwood, Murray Langfield, Cassie Mila, Dene Cotter, Betsy Evans, Stephen Thiering and Alex Mooney. Our greatest thanks to the dedicated volunteers, musicians and festival patrons from all corners of the globe who support and make this event possible.
