The Moonbird Festival returns in 2025, celebrating one of the most spectacular places on Earth, King Island, with music, art, food & wine.
Founded and directed by the Bowerbird Collective, this event brings together some of Australia's finest musicians for a series of spellbinding concerts.
The 2025 festival features outstanding artists including world renowned classical accordion player James Crabb, virtuoso guitarist Andrew Blanch, star saxophonist Alice Morgan and the stellar strings of the Bowerbird Collective - Simone Slattery and Emily Sheppard (violins), Neil Thompson (viola) and Anthony Albrecht (cello).
We are again fundraising for King Island Landcare this year, having successfully raised $25,000 in 2023/2024. Visit our Fundraising page for more information.
The moonbird, or the Short-tailed Shearwater, is an iconic species of great cultural and ecological significance to the islands of the Bass Strait.
Join us on King Island for this extraordinary experience.
Tickets for each concert can be purchased individually, or purchased all together with a Festival Pass for a total saving of $30. Read a detailed schedule of events at www.moonbirdfestival.com.
