This year’s Dungog Festival is guaranteed to be a fun-filled weekend, for all tastes.

There's a short film competition with entries closing soon that will screen the best of the films up for awards, during the festival. In addition, a program of longer-form features and documentaries will screen, including new and retro films. The film programme will include special guests and other screen-related events.

Across the festival itself, apart from watching films, you can treat yourself to a weekend of pure indulgence, wonderful food events and some great music events, while dancing the night away. You can enjoy our night markets, market stage, street tractor parade, street theatre, buskers and soak up the wonderful atmosphere, without spending a fortune. You can entertain your kids for a weekend, with loads of free street activities. And, as a special treat for kids and adults alike, world renowned conductor, George Ellis is bringing his hilarious Conductor and the Clown show to town.

There really is something for everyone at this year’s Dungog Festival.
