The River Folk Festival returns to the Yarra Valley in 2026.

Hosted across multiple venues and stages throughout the Warburton township, The River Folk Festival is a boutique three-day arts, music and cultural festival featuring international, national, regional and local performing artists in a curated program over three days, and is a vibrant celebration of place, diverse culture, and creativity.

Patrons can expect a diverse range of programming across different venues including an Opening Night Showcase Concert in The Arts Centre, Warburton to kick off the event on Friday; the Sisters of Song Women's Showcase, celebrating women in music; the iconic Valley Market, Warburton, featuring local and ethical artisan goods; and a dedicated children's space.
