Woodrow Rd Woodford
The Woodford Folk Festival programme has now been launched. Organisers have called it their strongest ever.
23 incredible venues. Then there’s the biggest stage… the festival streets.
Woodford features 580 booked acts (including presenters) rolled into 1600 or more events over the six days & six nights. Then there’s the unofficial program of jam sessions, street theatre, rituals, chalkboard…
We recommend that to fully appreciate & plan your festival you should purchase the full colour programme booklet: your Essential Guide to doing Woodford - which details the thousands of events and artists and presenters backgrounds, street maps and full listings of public transport, festival food outlets and more.
Program Booklets are available at most Sunshine Coast newsagencies for $10 & are well worth it so you can plan your Woodford experience, especially if you are going on a day pass.
