Around 2,000 volunteers arrive between December 24th and 27th to help bring the Woodford Folk Festival to life. Volunteers play a big part in making the festival comfortable, fun, and well-fed for everyone. From those who clean the amenities to the friendly greeters, baristas, bartenders, and bakers — there are hundreds of roles to choose from. Volunteers work 30–35 hours over the festival period (Dec24-Jan2), depending on the role.
The festival begins each year with the iconic Opening Ceremony and closes with the spectacular showcase, on New Year’s Day. This year will be the 38th Woodford Folk Festival and the 31st held at Woodfordia.
It is the largest gathering of artists and musicians in Australia. There is also yoga, dance, and circus workshops.
The Woodford festival experience is deep, rich and colourful. It is based on a vision of inclusive and creative community, culture and tradition passed through generations, expressed through story and ceremony. The site, a former barren dairy farm, has been lovingly regenerated with over 140,000 subtropical rain forest trees, orchids, ferns and sedges, planted to create a habitat for butterflies and wildlife.
Over the festival, Woodfordia is transformed into a village that hosts over 25,000 daily patrons, performers, stallholders, volunteers and organisers. As many as 2,680 volunteers across 162 departments are at the heart of the organisation and contribute to the setup and day-to-day running of the festival. During the event, the festival is actually the 67th largest town in Australia.
