The Queenscliff Music Festival is a registered not-for-profit organisation.
Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. is a registered not-for-profit cultural organisation that is community based and provides a unique and significant contribution to the Australian contemporary music industry.
Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. was founded in 1997 by a small band of locals keen to increase the value of tourism to the local economy and to promote the unique characteristics of Queenscliff.
Queenscliff Music Festival Inc.’s vision of being “a creative and socially responsible organization that fosters the community and arts” has driven the evolution and development of the organisation. From humble beginnings as a small festival in 1997 with 1460 attendees and just 23 volunteers, Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. has grown over two and a half decades and now not only hosts a highly successful festival in November but is also delivering additional events that provide year round arts and culture experiences. Each of these activities provides a significant boost to the Borough of Queenscliffe and Bellarine tourism.
Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. acknowledges that our events have a direct impact on the environment and therefore establishes an Environmental Management Plans for all events. Our aim is to enhance the environment through how we operate and minimise any negative effects. Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. will continue to improve waste practices whilst looking at ways to further benefit the environment through reductions to our broader carbon footprint; by being an active partner in implementing the Borough of Queenscliff Climate Emergency Action Plan and supporting other local organisations reduce their carbon footprint.
