Comments from patrons:

The weekend was nothing short of amazing, and we will definitely return if it runs again next year.The whole festival was brilliant! We came with no expectations, so we weren’t disappointed, and had THE BEST TIME.    Christine

A “HUGH THANK-YOU” for giving Sue and me the chance to experience such a brilliant weekend at Perisher. The music festival was excellent (we saw a number of acts in Perisher, the SunDeck, Smiggins etc), with the highlight of my year-to-date being a photo opportunity and chat with the wonderful Taasha Coates and the experience of watching this amazing band live. It was an awe-inspiring evening in Jax.    Greg


The 2nd Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music will be held in venues in Perisher Valley and Smiggin Holes in the NSW alpine area during the opening weekend of the Australian ski season.

It is the opening weekend of the Australian Ski season so it will be cold and there will be snow definitely at the front of the Perisher Valley and hopefully elsewhere! Snow making machines have been installed to ensure skiing is an option as well!

Perisher Valley is about 500km south of Sydney, 210km south of Canberra and 800km north of Melbourne via Tumut.

The Festival is presented by the Perisher Resorts Chamber of Commerce with assistance by an experienced team from the Illawarra Folk Festival led by David De Santi. David has directed the Illawarra Folk Festival on 15 occasions.

The Festival aims to present a variety of Australian and world, folk, roots, Celtic, acoustic and traditional music, song, dance, poetry and yarnspinning.
