Informations supplémentaires:
Port Fairy is an old sea-side fishing and farming village looking out to the Southern Ocean waves rolling along the south-west coast of the state of Victoria. It was along this south coast of Australia that ships sailed in the early years of immigration. Many were wrecked on the rocks. A fishing fleet still operates from the wharf on the river. The town of Port Fairy has become a thriving year round tourism destination and is an ideal stopover for ongoing tours further west or north to The Grampians. The festival with over 100 acts and more around 500 artists the festival is a vibrant and exciting cultural celebration which magically transforms the fishing village evoking tradition but looking to the future. Concerts, dance, workshops, theatre and other performances are presented on five large and five smaller stages in The Arena and at 12 more venues throughout the town. But each Labour Day weekend, the village becomes the festival and dances to a different beat over one amazing long weekend when some of the best roots act from around Australia and the world play concerts in a unique and ideal setting. It is no wonder that the artists and the patrons cannot wait to come back. After all 50 thousand Mutton Birds can't be wrong!
