Dungog Festival 2018

October long weekend
29th September to 1st October

The Festival has now swung into planning activities with the appointment of an Event Manager for the Festival.

Sarah Crawford, Director of Dungog Contemporary, an exciting new art gallery in the main street of Dungog, was appointed this week as Event Manager for 2018 Dungog Festival. She has a long career in the Arts and is an artist herself, as well as having significant experience in event management and marketing. Last year’s event manager, Felicity Fragar will continue as a consultant to ensure continuity.

If you would like to attend this year’s Festival, just mark it in your diary now and watch this space. However, if you would like to be more involved – as a Volunteer, as an artist, a market stallholder or a musician, please make sure you contact us early at info@dungogfestival.com.au

The Festival this year will be centred around the main street of Dungog and its many artist, galleries featuring local and national artworks in many genres.

Planning is still in progress, but some of the popular events will be there again, the ever popular Long Table Dinner on the Saturday evening, a film program at the James Theatre, a Gala Street Parade, then the Long Lazy Lunch as the usual finale.

NEW for this year is

• A free Sunday Street Party that will be great for families and music lovers
• Plenty of workshops, including, for the first time, one for budding screenwriters.
• Octoberfest in the beautiful old Wallarobba Hall is also a new feature for the Festival, and
• Sculpture on the Farm in the lovely Fosterton Valley, just minutes from town.

We’re looking forward to its being the best, most fun, festival yet, with lots to offer both participants and visitors alike.
