The Wingham Showground location offers onsite camping as the optimum choice for those with tents, caravans and motor homes to book and stay on the Festival site. If AIRbnb’s are more your style then book in early at some of the coastal locations of Old Bar, Manning Point, Halliday’s Point, Harrington, or in nearby Taree and Tinonee.
Festival Coordinator, Donna Ballard says “We are very excited to secure such incredible artists for the 2024 Wingham Music Festival and are just so pleased to be keeping our town and region alive with brilliant music and great artists. We are so grateful for the support of the visitors who return to Wingham every year to support the artists and our town.”
On top of the 28 musical acts and 108 musicians for 2024, Artistic Director, Jill Watkins adds the Offstage Creatives. Jill curates the Festival site with circus and roving acts performing across the weekend. Jill says, “In ‘pop up’ moments between the main bands on the centre stage, stilters, magicians, and theatre artists will perform and delight across the festival site for the entire weekend.”
Ali Buckley, Regional Music Coordinator, for Music NSW says “It’s so great to see a longstanding regional festival go from strength to strength. The mostly volunteer team at Wingham Festival on Biripi Country do a stellar job, delivering a gentle festival experience with a curated programme of music. It’s a super comfortable experience with the sweet feeling of community street theatre, workshops, kids’ area and local food stalls.
