UPDATE: The highly anticipated Wallaby Creek Festival 2025 is set to electrify Cape York from September 10-12, 2025, with a stellar line-up of 30 live acts, workshops, and activities for all ages! This year, festival organizers, Cape York Folk Club Inc., are ready to host music lovers at this unique camping festival that promises something for everyone, from toddlers to centenarians.
Festival-goers can expect heart-pounding performances from headliners like Anthony Forrest, Fat Picnic, and Kingfisha, who will bring their dynamic reggae, dub, and rock sounds to three stages over three days. Last year’s favorites, the female duo Salt & Steel and Hussy Hicks, will return to deliver their high-energy music, ensuring that the crowd stays engaged and entertained.
This year’s festival includes a diverse array of workshops. Attendees can choose from creative activities such as Clay Play, Juggling, and Flow Skills, as well as cultural experiences like Kuku Nyungkul Culture and Plant Walk guided by a local Indigenous Elder. New additions like the Sovereignty Circle and Psilocybin Magic Mushrooms workshop promise to enhance personal connections through innovative and thought-provoking sessions.
The festival is committed to sustainability, with practices that emphasize recycling and resource reuse. Volunteers are actively preparing the venue, and working bees take place every Saturday at 8:30 AM. Those who contribute can earn hours toward their ticket. Interested individuals can sign up via the festival’s official website under the Volunteers section.
The grounds are fully recovered from the impacts of Cyclone Jasper, except for Wallaby Creek bank, paving the way for this extensive range of performances and activities. Festival organizers expect a larger crowd than last year due to increased camping spaces, and tickets are already selling quickly.
Tickets are available online for $200 for adults from the local 4895 postcode, which includes camping for three nights. Purchasing early is advised, as online prices are significantly cheaper. To grab your tickets and stay updated, visit www.wallabycreekfestival.org.au or check their Facebook group.
