Kinglake will come alive with the sounds of banjos, mandolins, fiddles and double bass as music takes over the town at  the fifth annual Foggy Mountain Music Festival from October 12-14.

Foggy Mountain Music Festival invites musicians to participate in workshops, jam sessions, and performances. Music lovers can listen to acoustic music, share ideas, learn new musical skills and enjoy a weekend of performances in a scenic setting.

Supporting the economic redevelopment of the Kinglake Ranges, the Foggy Mountain Music Festival will showcase the best the region has to offer, in a family-friendly event with something for everyone. The Festival supports the Rotary Advance Driving Program through the auction held during the Bush Dance. There will be a CWA bake-off supporting the White Ribbon Charity and many other community support initiatives and positive morale activities.

There will be performances in various local businesses throughout the town, the main concert will be held in the Main Marquee in centre of Kinglake, with all venues in short distance from most accommodation and camping. The weekend will host a bush dance with two-course meal, Mountain Music Concerts Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Music Workshops, Pickers Breakfast, Gospel Concert and a Community Concert showcasing the children of Kinglake and surrounds, performing their own songs accompanied by acclaimed Carter and Carter.
