The Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) is nearly upon us, featuring over 70 music acts and a huge range of food, drink and creative entertainment and activities.
Running from Friday, November 22 to Sunday, November 24 at the Princess Park – Queenscliff Foreshore, QMF is ready to set the town alight once more.
Festival director Claire Strickland, in her first year in the role, said she was “really excited” about what the event would offer festival goers this year.
“We’ve made some great changes to the site this year and it really feels like the town is buzzing at the moment with the final festival preparations,” Ms Strickland said.
QMF has carved out a place in the Australian festival landscape as an event that always delivers with its musical program, and 2024 is no different.
From big names such as Michael Franti & Spearhead, Kasey Chambers, Marlon Williams and Xavier Rudd, to local artists like Hassall, Maddie Jackway, Wild Honey and the Sweethearts, the festival looks set to once again deliver on its promise to cater to all tastes.
The festival will also feature more gourmet Bellarine food and beverage produce, such as Ket Baker, Tarra Queenscliff, Queenscliff Gin Distillery and a Bellarine Wine Bar featuring four local wineries.
Ms Strickland said the heart of QMF was the support the festival received from the community every year.
“We’ve got a strong army of 400-plus volunteers who support us across the weekend, and we couldn’t do it without them,” she said.
“A lot of those volunteers have been long-standing, with us from the very beginning, and every year there’s a new injection of volunteers, so we’re really lucky to have that support.”
