With over 100 acts and 500 artists, the seaside town of Port Fairy, in Victoria's south west, comes alive with international and national musicians over a four-day long weekend.

10 - 12 March 2012
Golden Plains is a Premium Music Festival on an Epic Long Weekend in the Greatest of Outdoors. It is staged in Autumn so the weather is warm and stable. Afternoon goes on all day; the sun like honey on the trees, then a giant spike of excitement goes kabloooey at nightfall. The Summer Fool is spent by March so Golden Plains is oblivious to that particular strain of vain folly. Golden Plains is for seekers not attention-seekers.
23 - 25 March 2012
In the historic township of Yackandandah, this festival presents a diversity of musical styles that encompass traditional and not-so-traditional folk music interspersed with blues, rock, country and jazz.
