Welcome to the Ballarat Organs & Fine Music Festival

Each January, Ballarat and the Goldfields come alive with beautiful music, warm community spirit and the glow of summer. Over five inspiring days, audiences are invited to experience exceptional performances in the region's historic churches and grand heritage venues, many home to magnificent 19th-century organs that have long defined the Festival's sound.

The Ballarat Organs & Fine Music Festival has been part of the region's cultural life for more than 30 years. Today, the Festival brings together outstanding Australian and international artists for a diverse program of fine music, from early music and organ recitals to chamber music, piano, guitar and performances that reach beyond the traditional concert hall.

The 2027 Festival continues this tradition while embracing new musical experiences and artists from near and far. Across Ballarat and Clunes, audiences will discover music in beautiful heritage settings, with opportunities to explore the region, enjoy its summer atmosphere and experience the distinctive character of the Goldfields.

Beloved for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the Festival brings people together to share in the joy of music, history and place. Whether you are a long-time supporter or joining us for the first time, you'll be warmly welcomed to the Ballarat Organs & Fine Music Festival.
