The new Majors Creek Festival, held on the weekend, was a resounding success in every way, according to organisers. While final figures are not yet in, gate takings and pre-paid ticket sales indicate that attendance numbers have far exceeded expectations. The festival committee have received nothing but praise for presenting a well-organised festival with something for everyone.

Despite the heat on Saturday, people came in their droves and enjoyed the varied music program and markets. Many day visitors came from the local region and weekend camping space was at a premium.
Headline acts Kristina Olsen, Heath Cullen, Owen Campbell and Riogh were popular, as was the addition of the relaxing Lounge Stage complete with wine bar. The kids' festival in the centre of the festival site, was perfectly placed for children and parents, who could keep an eye on their offspring and still enjoy the music from the Braidwood Community Bank Main Stage or Lounge.
'Loved the new site.... Don't change a thing' was heard on more than one occasion. While there will be some minor tweaking to the festival site in future, the committee will take heed and change little. And yes, it will definitely be back next year!
The festival committee is grateful to the Braidwood/Majors Creek community - and the incredible team of volunteers - for supporting the rebirth of this popular event on the festival calendar.
