As a parkland dedicated to the arts and humanities, we are one of the only festival organisations that, not only have a permanent site, but are determined to ensure the existence of this beautiful place for future generations.

We owe the strength of our organisation to the tens of thousands of volunteers who offer their dedication and time. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to our donors who gift their energy financially.

We, the Jinibara people, are the registered Native Title holders for the Woodford area and Woodfordia’s Traditional Custodians. “Jini,” is our word for lawyer cane which grows in our territory around Kilcoy.
Our culture is rich in sacred sites, Dreaming places and ceremonial grounds including Bora rings, stone arrangements, camping places, food resource areas and story places.
It is through stories, song and dance that we connect with country and ancestors. We welcome you to our culture.
A six-day happening that closes out one year and welcomes the next, Woodford Folk Festival is home for lovers of music and dance, circus and cabaret, health and wellbeing, food and drink, arts and crafts and of course, life, in all its many glories.
Born of the original volunteers that began replanting the land back in 1997, The Planting has grown into a 3-day festival that boasts a generous array of workshops, musical talents, performers, speakers and food stalls, all underpinned with the desire to cherish and nurture the land at Woodfordia.
For four days of the year, an enthusiastic and generous bunch of master craftspeople descend on Woodfordia to share their skills, insights and experiences with an enthusiastic and curious bunch of Artisan campers.
A way of exploring this vast country in the spirit of hospitality and great fun, Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours that takes the best folk and contemporary artists performing at two of the country’s largest festivals and sends them on the road to play tiny halls in communities all over Australia.
With these treasures and keepsakes, we hope that a little bit of Woodfordia might weave its way into your year back in reality.
