CresFest is about the joy of live music - playing it, hearing it, watching it, dancing to it, learning it, being inspired by it - it all happens in one small Victorian town, as we bring a unique and inclusive warmth to Creswick, just 15 minutes from Ballarat, across the first weekend of the school holidays: Friday 4 April - Sunday 6 April, 2025.

More than just concerts, you'll have the chance to participate through a densely packed program of workshops including singing, dancing and playing. Learn new skills and take part in the majestic Rhythms of Africa Extravaganza when we take over the centre of town with Kofi Kunkpe's ensemble and the Creswick Drummers.
