Two more years for music festival

Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) will be held for at least another two years, the state government announced this week.

The festival will celebrate its 27-year milestone this month, bringing the vibrancy of live music to the heart of one of Victoria’s most picturesque coastal towns.

The festival has been funded through the latest round of the state government’s $38 million Regional Events Fund.

“We’re extremely grateful for the support of the state government and Visit Victoria,” QMF director Claire Strickland said.

“The Regional Events Fund is absolutely instrumental in enabling Queenscliff Music Festival to flourish, allowing us to showcase and celebrate music, creativity and community, while drawing visitors to our beautiful coastal region and strengthening Victoria’s live music scene.”

This year, more than 60 artists will perform across 10 stages and will attract visitors from interstate and across Victoria.

“We’re thrilled to support the Queenscliff Music Festival on our beautiful Bellarine Peninsula,” Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant said.

“Not only will it be an incredible spectacle, but will significantly boost our local economy.

“With an incredible line up of artists, hundreds of volunteers and much-loved community vibes, the Queenscliff Music Festival is a regional event our government is proud to support.”

This year’s QMF is from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November at Princess Park, Queenscliff.
