The Palm Creek Folk Festival is an annual event, held over the Queens Birthday weekend each year in June, in the lush tropical grounds of the Mountain View Lake Eco Park, 40km south of Townsville, North Queensland.
The event takes place over four days and three nights involving more than 100 performers and events with concerts, dances, workshops, acoustic jams, youth festival, art and craft workshops, late night cabarets and special events. The Festival features the cream of local performers and a smattering of special guests. Be sure to bring your fancy dress for Sunday night's Fancy Dress Parade.
If you'd like to be involved, whether by becoming a volunteer, performing, holding a stall or purchasing tickets and just kicking back and enjoying the music, one thing is guaranteed -a weekend to remember.
Please note: Alcohol will not be served at the Festival this year. We anticipate that all Festival attendants will exercise responsible drinking behaviour at our "family friendly" event.

Accommodation
Palm Creek Festival is a camping weekend, with camping fees included in your ticket price. There are some great campsites in what must be described as an idyllic setting nestled under Mt Elliot.
The grounds have hot showers, and temporary toilets (including disabled facilities) are brought in to augment existing facilities.
You are welcome to bring your own gas stoves for cooking, however open fires are not permitted. Of course you can always eat at one of the various food stalls, which cater to a wide range of tastes.....from vegetarian to just about anything else you might fancy.
The tap water on site is not drinkable unless boiled, so while it's great for making a billy of tea and coffee, it's not recommended otherwise. However, there will be a tank of drinking water set up near the main stage for you to refill your water drinking bottles. So please remember to pack your own. |
