Or if you have specific construction skills, you can work your time help set the festival up at the Cobargo Showground and have time to see the dozens of high quality acts from around Australia and from overseas.
“Our festival depends entirely on the goodwill and hard work of volunteers, including the festival organisers who spend many weeks each year putting the festival together,” festival executive director Zena Armstrong said.
“It’s a fantastic team and many of our 300 volunteers come back year after year to be a part of a community that delivers a fantastic weekend of music, dance and spoken word.
Information on tickets and volunteering can be found under “Info” on the festival website – www.cobargofolkfestival.com.au.
The artistic program for the 2018 Cobargo Folk Festival has been finalised with music legends Eric Bogle, Andy Irvine (Ireland), Peter Rowan (US) and Neil Murray (Australia) among the headliners. They will be joined by a number of exciting young acts including the popular Northern Folk, who recently toured schools in the Bega Valley, Candelo contingent David Ross Macdonald, Pete Wild and the Only Ones, and Kate Burke with her musical partner Ruth Hazleton.
