Tablelands Folk Festival

Each October, Yungaburra comes alive with music during the Tablelands Folk Festival, a long-running celebration of folk, roots, acoustic and world music on the Atherton Tablelands, traditionally held over the fourth weekend of October.

Held across venues throughout the historic village, the festival brings together musicians and performers for a weekend of concerts, workshops, sessions and community events. Performances range from intimate acoustic sets to larger concerts, with plenty happening throughout Yungaburra.

Between performances, wander the village streets, stop at local cafes and restaurants or explore nearby Lake Eacham, Lake Barrine and the Curtain Fig Tree.

The Tablelands Folk Festival is held annually in October and has become a regular fixture on the Atherton Tablelands events calendar.

For 2027, the festival is expected to take place around October 22–24, 2027 (the fourth weekend of October), though full lineup details, ticket sales, and exact scheduling are typically released by the organizing committee closer to the event.
