Festival update

Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney, we have decided to postpone our September event until 2022. While we are not in lockdown in Newcastle, there are travel and venue restrictions in place that make it too difficult for us to proceed. We do not want to risk the health and safety of our artists, volunteers, audience, and staff.

We are looking forward to celebrating our 10th anniversary in April and we hope to see you then. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.  In the meantime, if you would like to support the ongoing work of the Festival as it navigates this challenging time, please consider a tax-deductible donation. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated.
