Sandford Bush Music Festival 2023

Patron: Dobe Newton (OAM)

The Sandford Festival Committee acknowledge that the land we gather on each year for the Festival is the traditional land of the Gunditjmara People, and we pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Performers applications for the 2023 Festival have now closed – Our lineup will be announced soon.

Sandford 2022 is all done and dusted and what a Hoot it was! Loved by festival goers and performers alike, the event exceeded expectations in every department. If you’d like to contribute photos to our gallery, please send them to webmaster@sandfordfestival.com.
