Join a workshop, have a dance, settle into a session—or do all three. Mount Roland Folk Festival is made for joining in, not just watching."
Love this! Folk festivals aren't just about consuming entertainment, they're about being a vital part of the event. Come along to the ceili where you can join in the dancing regardless of how many left feet you have. Sessions aren't only for those who can play well. Even if you just come along with your very recently-acquired instrument and play a couple of notes quietly, it's a start and the hardest bit is the first time. It's incredible how encouraging other musicians (and equally, experienced dancers) are. Sessions and dances don't happen unless people come along - so yes, you're a vital part! - and all are welcome.

Music is only the beginning. 🎻💃

Join a workshop, have a dance, settle into a session—or do all three. Mount Roland Folk Festival is made for joining in, not just watching.

Come curious and leave with a new tune, a new skill or a few new friends.

The Folk Federation of Tasmania have been contacted by International Event Bookings Ltd.:

"One of our cruise ship clients will be visiting Hobart Australia, on the following dates in 2027 and is interested in booking a local cultural show for their guests:

1 February 2027
23 February 2027
16 March 2027
22 March 2027
25 October 2027
30 November 2027

International Event Bookings Ltd is a destination entertainment specialist working with leading cruise lines, brands, and events around the world to provide authentic entertainment, cultural experiences, enrichment, and artistic programmes for international audiences.

We are looking at a hop-on / hop-off activity, meaning the performers would board the ship on the day of the performance and disembark at the end of the engagement. They would not sail with the ship or its crew.

The client is interested in a 1 x 45-minute or 2 x 45-minute local cultural show for guests onboard, with the aim of introducing them to the culture, traditions, music, dance, and/or artistic heritage of Hobart, Tasmania, and Australia, and enhancing their overall guest experience."

If you are interested please contact [email protected] to express your interest and learn more about the application requirements. The FFT are not involved so please direct queries to the email address above.
