Port Fairy Folk Festival

Campervans for the Port Fairy Folk Festival will sell out fast and sell out early. Booking early guarantees a wider choice of vehicles and cheaper rental rate. Visit DriveNow's Melbourne Campervan rental page and lock in a great deal ahead of the crowd.

THERE's no doubt that the Port Fairy Folk Festival is one of Australia's leading musical events with over 20000 people attending the event in 2016. 2017 will see the 41st running of the Festival and promises even bigger and better things to come. With performers from across Australia and around the world, the Port Fairy festival offers a diverse range of folk music and acts along with buskers entertaining down the main street over the long March Labour Day weekend in Victoria. The ever growing popularity of the Port Fairy Festival means accommodation is harder to come by. Hotel, Bed & Breakfast and house rentals are in great demand and all quickly get snapped up. Another great way to take in the festival is to hire a campervan in Melbourne and drive your bed down with you. It's a fantastic way to take in the festival, spend time on the road on the way down or returning from Port Fairy, exploring the Great Ocean Road, Western Victoria or the Grampians. What's more Port Fairy offers Holiday Parks with powered sites so you get to experience the Festival, enjoy the camaraderie of camping and relax in the comforts of a modern campervan or motorhome. Many vehicles feature double beds, comprehensive Kitchens, bathrooms and plenty of room to stretch out and relax in. In fact today's Motorhomes have a look and feel of a home from home (albeit on wheels!). The nearest Campervan rental pick-up locations are in Melbourne.
