Come to Byron Bay and experience one of our world class music festivals!
We have Blues Fest, Splendour In The Grass and Falls to name a few.
Music festivals are amazing for your all-round health. Here's a list of just some of their health benefits:
- Mood enhancer
- Serotonin booster
- Unplug and embrace new surroundings
- Boost your vitamin D intake
- Lower your stress level
- Burn some calories
- Meet new friends
- Make lifelong memories
If music festivals aren't your thing, Byron Bay also hosts fashion, film, writing and sports festivals too!
Byron Bay is an incredible place full of creativity, spirit and soul. Throughout the year there is always something going on that involves music; whether that be the open mic night at Byron Bay Brewery on a Wednesday, the live music every night at the Railway Bar or one for the many yearly festivals that take part here in our beautiful region.
In the last week Byron Bay hosted the Byron Bay Surf Festival. With a storm system brewing close by there was amazing swell which provided great surfing conditions for the festival.
Over the Easter break we are blessed with Blues Fest, the 5 day long festival that showcases Blues and Roots music from around the world.
In late April the Byron Bay International Fashion Festival is a big hit.
Shortly after that we have the Renew Fest that runs from the 10-12th of May and celebrates all things renewable, something that the Byron Shire is really passionate about.
In July we have Splendour In The Grass. This is a 50,000 capacity 3 day music festival similar to Coachella in the United States.
On the 2nd of August we have the Byron Writers Festival. This is the perfect festival for aspiring writers and draws many talented, published authors to speak over the multi-day festival.
For the like of all film fanatics, Byron hosts the Byron Bay Film Festival in early November, followed by the Mullum Music Festival.
Then to finish the year off you have Falls festival. Run by the same company as Splendour In The Grass, this music event brings live music acts from all over the world to celebrate the new year with a bang!
