Now in its 18th year, the Wingham Music Festival has grown from a grassroots gathering into one of NSW's most beloved small town music events.
Born from the vision of locals looking to create a vibrant festival scene in Wingham, the event brings music, culture and connection to the MidCoast while giving homegrown artists the chance to perform alongside Australian greats.
"The Wingham Music Festival exposes new art forms and creative endeavours to a regional audience," MidCoast Council's Director of Liveable Communities, Paul De Szell said.
"The festival is one of the major events sponsored under Council's annual event sponsorship program.
"The festival this year is a Flood Recovery event dedicated to supporting our community through music, connection and the positive energy the festival is known for."
The 2025 line-up includes the Backsliders, Badloves, Bill Chambers, Round Mountain Girls, Groove Collective, Big Fins, Jake Davey Band and more.
"The festival's key values of homegrown talent, family friendliness and community focus are seen in the live performances, artisan market stalls, displays and delicious food. These strong local aspects are appreciated by visitors, with stallholders contributing to the visually creative, artisan component of the festival," Mr De Szell said.
"Whether you're a resident or a visitor attending, you're making a real difference. Your participation in the Wingham Music Festival means so much – not just to the organisers, but to the broader Wingham community."
