The Moonbird Festival returns in 2024, 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. Our Moonbird events will appeal to all on King Island, with awesome tunes from folk, classical and world genres. Come and try something new!
We want the events to be as accessible and affordable, and we know the island is in a difficult position at present. Anyone can make use of the
25% discount code, "MOONBIRD" which can be entered on
the ticket page.
We are also keen to let people know that if they would like to attend, there is a no-questions-asked 100% discount code, "FREEASABIRD". We are keen to encourage those with means to please pay for tickets, but anyone struggling right now should please use the discount codes! We would love the community to come together for something joyful and we don't want to exclude anyone! Booking is important, as we need to confirm numbers for our smaller capacity events.
The 2024 festival features Van Diemen's Band Artistic Director Julia Fredersdorff and members of the Van Diemen's Fiddles, Emily Sheppard and Rachel Meyers, alongside Freedman Fellow Katie Yap, multi-instrumentalist Yyan Ng, and the founders of the Bowerbird Collective, Simone Slattery and Anthony Albrecht.
Don't miss the wonderful concerts, as well as the artists talks, public talk on natural capital and the free kids storytelling event.

ABOUT Moonbird Festival
After a highly successful launch in 2023, the Moonbird Festival returns in 2024, 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 moonbird, or the Short-tailed Shearwater, is an iconic species of great cultural and ecological significance to the islands of the Bass Strait. The birds depart their colonies on King Island at the end of April to begin an annual 30,000km migration.
The Moonbird Festival unites art, science and conservation, and includes local culinary delights, and a series of intimate, world-class performances. We are again fundraising for King Island Landcare this year, having successfully raised $20,000 in 2023. Visit our Fundraising page for more information and to purchase raffle tickets.
