A campfire stage, set amongst the trees, presents a combination of professional and walk-up artists and performers every night, from Monday through to Sunday. Meanwhile, a second stage provides non-stop professional country music and bush poetry entertainment from Friday afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday. Campers are encouraged to come early to enjoy the great atmosphere. The gates open eleven days prior to the start of the festival. Fees apply, no EFTPOS facilities available on site. This gives campers the chance to extend their stay in the peace and tranquility of Hartwood. Hartwood has been called the people’s festival – pets and children attend for free. Hundreds of caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and a sprinkling of tents gather here for the week to enjoy the great country music entertainment, a laid back camping experience, and a special camaraderie with their fellow country music fans. This years event consists of a top line up of artists including The Gottani Sisters, Amos Morris, Royden Donohue, Tom Maxwell, McKay Brothers, Sharon Benjamin and Rob Breese. The Bush Poet's Breakfast held Easter Saturday and Sunday features the hilarious Mel & Susie & Ray Essery. For more information visit the website. Hope to see you there!
