WE'RE TURNING 22!

An annual celebration of music, culture and the arts, Wallaby Creek Festival has become one of Far North Queensland’s much-loved and “must-do” festivals and events. 

This year we celebrate 22 years of music and magic, connection, culture and community, and art with heart, surrounded by the by the beautiful wet tropics rainforest of the far north. 

This year is also very special as we are inviting all festival-lovers to help us fundraise towards purchasing the incredibly special, slice of paradise that is the current festival site and for the repair after the massive flooding event we experienced in December 2023.

With community and family at heart, the family- festival is always held in the middle week of the September school holidays (this year 20-24 September) just south of Cooktown and promises something for everyone.
