The Village Festival 2025
While traditionally known as Central Queensland’s premier celebration of music, arts, and culture, this year’s Village Festival presents a reduced program in response to industry-wide financial constraints affecting music and festivals across Queensland.

Community First
Despite the challenges, the passion to deliver memorable experiences remains strong. A large-scale festival is not viable in 2025 without an expanded volunteer base and increased sponsorship. In its place, we’ve created two exciting signature events to keep the spirit alive:

Blues by the Beach — Emu Park — Brought to you by Bendigo Community Bank
Saturday 31st August 2025
Free entry
Enjoy laid-back seaside vibes, live blues music, and a celebration of local talent in a relaxed community setting.

Astralien Tech Bush Doof — Waru Yeppoon

Saturday 7th August 2025

Ticketed event — Buy tickets here
A futuristic blend of music and nature, this immersive event will feature electronic soundscapes and bushland creativity in true doof style.

Help Shape the Future
We invite the community to attend, share your feedback, and consider volunteering or sponsoring next year’s festival. Your involvement is vital to ensure Village Festival continues to thrive for years to come.
