2025 Festival Closing Event

Let's celebrate our 20th Anniversary with a joyous event to close the festival!

We invite you to join a range of choirs, contemporary artists and personalities as we come together to enjoy performances, singalongs and the buoyant community spirit for which the Festival is known.

The bar will be open throughout this relaxed event so raise your glass and join us in a toast to Australia's leading singing celebration.
