15.01.2022 Thank you to all of our visitors who have come to support our community. Shed a little tear walking down a quiet main street tonight for what is usually the happiest, liveliest day of our year. The Yack spirit will live on and we will be back next year.

13.01.2022 Hi folks. You’ve probably been wondering what is happening with the 2021 Yackandandah Folk Festival. Well, like a lot of other events, we have decided that due to the current restrictions, staging the festival in anything like our normal format will be impossible. The Victorian Government are doing their level best to ease restrictions as soon as possible. However, they cannot predict the date when even regional areas like ours will move into what they refer to as a Covid No...rmal (unrestricted audience numbers) situation. The YFF committee have been exploring several alternative options, including the possibility of staging a live-streaming event featuring an all Victorian line up of performers. We continue to work closely with local Government authorities on putting together a viable event. We are hoping to announce a firm decision some time in November this year. Meantime, we’d like to say a big thank you to those ticket holders and event sponsors who have very generously chosen to donate their ticket costs and sponsorship money towards helping us pay some of our ongoing costs. This has in turn allowed us to make supporting payments totalling some $15,000 to those Australian musicians who were booked to play at YFF 2020 as well as all the local area community groups who were set to raise important funds during the festival weekend to help offset some of their respective losses. This was totally unexpected and we are truly humbled by your actions. Please watch this space for further developments as they come to hand. Finally, stay healthy and well and we’ll look forward to seeing you in Yackandandah again very soon. Best Regards The YFF Organising Committee

05.01.2022 Some of our wonderful sponsors have kindly agreed to allow us to keep sponsorship money to cover fixed and unavoidable costs following the sad cancellation of the Yackandandah Folk Festival. A BIG thank you to Jappo Donks in Wodonga. Please support them like they have supported us if you can. More thankyous to come! Stay safe everyone

04.01.2022 CANCELLED Yackandandah Folk Festival committee regrets to inform you that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s event. The advice from the Chief Medical Officer and health officials is that non-essential large gatherings of people should be cancelled as an early measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This decision was not taken lightly, however the health of the community is paramount and in light of expert advice it would irresponsible to continu...e with the event. We extend our sympathies to all those who will be impacted by this decision. This comes at a difficult time for many in our community as we only begin to recover from the recent bushfire tragedy. As a committee we agreed to make the decision early to enable people to plan accordingly. We appreciate and understand that many of you will want to know more information about tickets and volunteering, among others. Please be patient as we take a few moments to gather our thoughts after a long and difficult day. Further committee meetings are scheduled over the weekend to discuss the many details emerging from this decision. We will be contacting all volunteers, ticket holders, vendors and other stakeholders in the coming days. Stay folky YFF Committee See more

04.01.2022 Second shout out to our very special sponsor WAW. WAW is one of our long term sponsors of the Yackandandah Folk Festival.
