QUEENSCLIFF MUSIC FESTIVAL A BIG BOOST FOR BELLARINE
In another boost for the Bellarine, the Allan Labor Government has secured the Queenscliff Music Festival to be held for another two years - attracting visitors and fuelling local businesses.
This year’s event will take place from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November at Princess Park, and bring the vibrancy of live music to the heart of one of Victoria’s most picturesque coastal towns.
The Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF), an unmissable event on the Bellarine Peninsula, is celebrating its 27th edition in 2025.
QMF will light up the last weekend of November with more than 60 incredible artists across 10 stages - all set against the stunning backdrop of charming streets and breathtaking views. These acts will attract visitors from interstate and across Victoria – supporting local businesses.
The Festival has been funded through the latest round of the Allan Labor Government’s $38 million Regional Events Fund.
The fund supports festivals, sporting events and art exhibitions that create local jobs, boost tourism and showcase Victoria’s regional communities.
In the past year, regional events across the state have attracted more than a million attendees and led to more than 300,000 hotel nights being booked.
The Labor Government’s Regional Events Fund has supported more than 450 events across regional Victoria.
The Major Events Fund also supports marquee events held regionally, including the Rip Curl Pro, the Superbikes World Championship Australian Round, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and Beyond the Valley.
