The National Celtic Festival will not be going ahead on the June long weekend.

Dear Friends and Supporters

Due to Government COVID restrictions enforcing the current lockdown situation in Victoria and after advice and discussions with stakeholders, we regret to announce that the National Celtic Folk Festival 2021 will not be going ahead on the June long weekend. This has been a very difficult decision for us.

We understand the lockdown will end before the long weekend, but we and our contractors have lost one week’s work prior to coming on site. This is a crucial week in our planning and preparation. Our decision not to go ahead with the festival eliminates the high risk of the lockdown being extended and a possible scaled return to pre-lock down capacities. Both these scenarios would impact our suppliers and stakeholders and venue capacities which would not allow us to put on the event we had planned for.

We will assess our position at the end of this lockdown with the hope to MAYBE reschedule the event in the coming months, but we don't have any further details at this early stage.

** Current Ticket Holders **

All ticket holders will be refunded over the coming week/s.
If we do reschedule for another date, our current ticket holders will be notified for the first opportunity to purchase a new ticket.

** Stakeholders **

Artists, performers, volunteers, suppliers, market stalls and partners. We will contact you individually. We are just so disappointed, as we know you will be. Please bear with us as we work towards getting in touch with you.

This is heartbreaking for all of us, considering we had to cancel our 18th birthday in 2020. We were feeling excited about going ahead in 2021 and buoyed by everyone’s support and encouragement. We know this outcome will impact many of your plans, and this only makes it harder and more disappointing to have made this decision.

Please be patient with our team as we work through these processes. We know all your enquiries are important and we are prioritising the tasks at hand.

Thank you all for your support and understanding

“Fishing has been hot out from Portarlington while the weather allowed us to get out and be comfortable in our small boat. Plenty of squid and whitting from Point Richards and towards Clifton Springs. Out a little deeper towards St.Leanords we managed to find some gummies and pinkies and the odd good sized flathead. Very lucky to be in a great central location, fishing for good table fish while enjoying some magnificent views.
Joe.”

Has anyone seen the donut van this year? Does anyone know why it isn’t there yet? It is usually there by the 26 December.

Love the original large balcony extending to the street. Hope they restore it to its former glory.
