Calling all artists!

ARTIST EOI – LIVE FROM 1 JULY TO 16 AUGUST

Attention musicians one and all, we want you!

At CresFest, we are seeking high quality folk and roots music that embodies the rich traditions of specific cultures and communities, celebrating the musical oral heritage passed down through generations. We value performances that reflect the everyday lives and experiences of ordinary people, as this plays a vital role in preserving cultural identity. We are interested in music from around the world that resonates with themes such as love, work, family and social issues, and history. We create an atmosphere that encourages audience involvement through singing, dancing, and playing instruments, fostering a strong sense of community and shared experience. So if you are a Band, Choir, Community Band or Street Performer please read our Expression of Interest form to be considered for CresFest 2026.

CresFest acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we live, learn and work, the Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation.
We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.
