Moe Music Festival is Back!

Due to increasing popularity, the Moe Music Festival has developed into a two-day event and will be held over the weekend or 5 and 6 May 2012.

In addition to Jazz, Blues, Folk and Country music featured in previous festivals, a ‘Brass Bonanza’ will be held on the Saturday showcasing local and visiting brass bands. Another addition to the festival will be a Gala Dance on Saturday night where music lovers of all persuasions can get together to dance the night away.

19 years Old, The Moe Music Festival is getting bigger!

After 19 years of running a successful Jazz Festival in Moe, the Moe Jazz Festival Committee developed partnerships with Old Gippstown, the
Gippsland Rhythm and Blues Club, the Gippsland Acoustic Music Club and the Gippsland Country music Club to launch the Moe Music Festival. After two very successful festivals in 2010 and 2011, the Gippsland Brass Band Group has joined the partnership adding Brass Band music to the mix.

The Moe Traders Association has also ramped up their support for the Moe Music Festival by holding a talent quest for young people the week before as part of a community celebration in Moe. Finalists from the talent quest will perform on stage at the music festival on the Sunday to promote young local talent.

The festival will commence on Saturday 5 May at 10.00 am with the ‘Brass Bonanza’ at Old Gippsland through to 5.00 pm. The Gala Dance will be held at the Moe RSL on Saturday night from 8.00 pm featuring the Alan Clark Gippsland Swing Combo. On Sunday it will be off to Old Gippstown again for an extravaganza of Jazz, Blues, Folk and Country music in various venues throughout the park.

Session tickets will be available at all venues along with discount passes for combinations of events.
