About QMF Inc

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. is a creative and socially responsible organisation which engages and fosters the community and arts.

Queenscliff Music Festival Inc. will:

1. Offer audiences unique experiences which are memorable, delivered in style and are family-friendly

2. Feature the depth and breadth of Australian contemporary artists, foster emerging talent and

   embrace special international guests when appropriate

3. Provide events with high quality venues, services, management, and minimal environmental impact

4. Generate cultural and economic benefits to the local community

5. Foster and develop community ownership through a well-supported and enthusiastic team of staff

   and volunteers, and

6. Plan for long term sustainability through financial responsibility and good governance.
