On Sunday the 6th of March will be the venue for a big day out for Folk enthusiasts when they gather in its magnificent ambience, to hear music and verse performed by a great array of renowned international and local performers. There will be 27 concerts with 16 acts from 9am in the morning till 9pm in the evening with a number of venues to choose from ? a large concert room, an intimate acoustic concert room, the restaurant, outdoor terrace and grove area all set in the picturesque and tranquil surrounds of the Lodge. Since the Illawarra Folk Festival at Jamberoo moved to September, the Illawarra has missed many of the fine international performers who visit Australia during the folk festival seasons. Now you have a chance to see and hear an amazing array of talent on one day at the picturesque and serene Jamberoo Valley Lodge. The day is presented by the Illawarra Folk Club Inc. which is a non-profit incorporated association. Tickets will be limited and there will be no individual concert tickets.
