About QMF Inc

The Queenscliff Music Festival is a registered not-for-profit organisation.

QMF 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.

QMF 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.

QMF 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, QMF Inc. has grown over 24 years and now not only hosts a highly successful festival in November with over 25,000 attendees including more than 500 volunteers but is also delivering additional events that provide year round arts and culture experiences. Each of these activities provides a significant boost to Queenscliff and Bellarine tourism. 

QMF Inc. acknowledges that our events have a direct impact on the environment and therefore is committed to establishing Environmental Management Plans for all events. Our aim is to enhance the environment through operations and minimise any negative effects. QMF Inc. will continue to improve waste practices whilst looking at ways to further benefit the environment through reductions to our broader carbon footprint.
