A Canberra institution will return when the National Folk Festival descends on Exhibition Park this weekend. The Audreys, The Cashews, Fred Smith and many, many more will step up to the dozen or so stages littered around the site across five jam-packed days of live music and entertainment.
Across town the traditional National Anti Folk Festival will set up shop in the cozy surrounds of Smith’s Alternative. Catch the likes of Andrea Kirwin, Sertra, and Wardens of Sound performing across the weekend alongside a program of open mixes and jam sessions.
