Event Description
The Wellington Folk Festival is held every Labour Weekend at Brookfield Outdoor Education Centre – a beautiful site owned by the Scouts at 562 Moores Valley Road, Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, New Zealand.
The 2025 festival was a wonderful celebration of 60 years of folk music festivals in Wellington. Now it’s time to start preparing for the 7th decade!
In 2026, the Festival will run from 23rd to the 26th of October. The Festival gate is open from 3pm on the Friday, with events running over Friday evening, all day Saturday through to Sunday evening. The festival concludes on Monday morning with packing up the campsite and saying final farewells.
Weekend and day passes are now on sale. Ranging from as cheap as $45 - $205. Weekend passes include camping, and there are a limited number of bunk rooms on offer. Children 5 and under are free.
