Woodfordia's Festival of Small Halls has announced that Irish/Canadian powerhouse Irish Mythen and Australian folk troubadour Kaurna Cronin will feature on their next tour in March 2026, which takes in 13 regional Victorian towns while also visiting the magnificent Port Fairy Folk Festival.

Now regarded as the benchmark for rural and regional touring, and presented by veteran festival producers Woodfordia Inc, the 48th edition of the not-for-profit music tour is meandering from Foster through to Thule (NSW) as the Autumn leaves start their descent to the earth and the winds blow colder.

Festival of Small Halls Autumn Tour 2026 starts on the 27th of February at the Foster War Memorial Arts Centre before continuing on to 12 communities across Victoria, finishing in New South Wales at Thule's Caldwell Hall on March 22.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
