Following the good-time success story of Castlemaine’s first ever Town Folk Festival early in 2022, festival organisers have announced it will be back for a second instalment on February 11, 2023.

At Thursday’s announcement, Town Folk Festival spokesperson Jeremy Furze said the 2023 event would feature a huge lineup of acts including Big Scary, Phoebe Go, Folk Bitch Trio, Jade Imagine, The Maes, Maple Glider and more.

“Bringing together 16 of the best contemporary artists from around Victoria (and beyond) to Castlemaine, Town Folk celebrates diverse, compelling and exciting music, which all fits vaguely or specifically under the ever-widening umbrella of folk,” Furze said.

The one-day festival takes place in Castlemaine on Dja Dja Wurrung Country across four stages in three venues, The Bridge Hotel, Shedshaker Brewing and Boomtown Wine, all a short walking distance from each other and packed with an afternoon-into-evening of musical greatness, food, drinks and company.
