Falls Festival- 31st December-2nd Jan 2022
Falls Festival is now in its 27th year and, from all reports, gets better every time! With a primary focus on the beauty and benefits of the festival’s lush locations, it’s no wonder Byron Bay is on top of the exclusive list.
Falls boasts multiple stages with unbelievable local and international acts. But there is more to this festival than great music- think Smirnoff Yoga sessions, a Palm Springs inspired water park, and comedy acts to name a few. What more does one need to ring in the new year?
Falls Festival Byron Bay is held at North Byron Parklands at Yelgun, about 20 minutes from Byron with a range of transport options available.

Its little wonder that Bluesfest is Australia’s most awarded music festival. Taking place over the Easter Long Weekend since 1990, this is a Byron experience not to be missed. It features over 200 performances, across multiple stages over five unforgettable days with more than 100 food and market stalls.

Byron Writers Festival
26-28th August 2022:
The Festival team and I are thrilled to announce Byron Writers Festival 2022, set to take place this August 26 — 28 at a new site, the beautiful North Byron Parklands.
It is an incredible gift to create an experience for people who love books to come together in celebration of our mutual love of words and ideas. Now more than ever, the joy of meeting in person at a literary festival, to listen, reflect, laugh and be uplifted, feels so important. So it is with great excitement that I am working with the Byron Writers Festival team to bring back everything you have loved about this wonderful event.
You can expect to hear from your favourite authors, discover new talented writers and listen to conversations with some of our greatest thinkers on the topics that matter now. In August we will gather in a new stunning location on Minjungbal land to immerse ourselves in ideas and imagine the future we want to share.
I can’t wait to see you there.
