The Maleny Music Festival runs from November 8-10.
It offers a melting pot of folk, Irish, blues and Americana music, from some exceptional local talent.
We have everything you need to know for a fun weekend away.
With major music festivals being cancelled across the country – it’s time to support the little guys.
