The story

Blue Mountains Music Festival in Katoomba

The Blue Mountains Music Festival brings folk, blues, and acoustic roots music to Katoomba, New South Wales, staged largely indoors at the Sports and Aquatic Centre. Run by a community not-for-profit since the late 1990s, it favours musicianship and workshops over festival spectacle. Cool mountain air, sandstone scenery, and a village pub atmosphere round out the weekend.

Katoomba's cool mountain air and heritage streetscape provide the backdrop for one of New South Wales's respected folk and roots gatherings.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its indoor, musician-focused format in a mountain village setting rather than an open-field spectacle

02

The mystery stays covered

Concerts, dance sessions, and songwriting workshops run concurrently across multiple rooms, giving performers room for extended sets and genuine collaboration rather than tightly rationed slots

03

The city starts moving

Katoomba's cool climate and sandstone escarpment scenery mean the event doubles as a mountain getaway, with cafes and pubs in the historic town centre hosting fringe sessions alongside the main program

04

The water draws everyone in

The community not-for-profit structure has kept ticket prices and atmosphere accessible while still attracting respected Australian and international folk and blues acts
