Feedback

In 2010 our thirteenth festival is on the third weekend of March from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 March 2010.  As usual we are working on our diverse program bringing you the best of the international touring acts and our own Aussie talent. Our festival coincides with  the 150th anniversary of the Yackandandah Cricket Club and the 40th anniversary of our award winning Museum and we invite you to join  us in the celebrations.

Each year we  grow a little; both in our own experience of running the festival and in learning how to share our unique Yackandandah hospitality. This coming festival, due to the renovation of the Public Hall and the extension of the Primary School, we are using the new Festival Park precinct (known to locals as the Sports Park) for additional venue space.

Come join us in Yack.
