Tanglewood Festival

Tanglewood Music & Arts Festival is an Australian boutique festival celebrating local creativity, live music and community. Its program brings together musicians and electronic producers from nearby communities, spanning acoustic performances, bands and a wide range of musical styles. Alongside the music, visitors can experience art galleries and installations, roving performers, dance troupes, workshops, a market and street food. The festival also invites artists, DJs, performers, workshop leaders, market stallholders, volunteers and other contributors to take part, making it a platform for both audiences and creative participants.

Presented as a family-friendly, BYO New Year’s Eve event, Tanglewood places strong emphasis on respect, safety and consideration for everyone on site, including neighbours, volunteers and crew. Its stated sustainability goals include avoiding single-use items and leaving the land in better condition. The festival acknowledges the Taungurung and Wurundjeri peoples as traditional owners and commits to collaboration, reconciliation and partnership. Tanglewood offers tickets, event and travel information, camping guidance, accessibility details, safety rules and updates for festivalgoers.
