Welcome to The Northern Beaches Music Festival 2026.
On November the 7th and 8th we will be presenting multiple acts on multiple stages over the weekend. The festival is once again located at the Tramshed Community Arts Centre and The Berry Reserve by the beautiful Narrabeen Lake. It includes fabulous, multi genre world music on three ticketed stages.
This year we feature three weatherproof indoor stages hosting an incredible array of local & national performing artists featuring multi genre world contemporary folk ranging from traditional to original contemporary, blues to bluegrass, gypsy jazz swing to the dancing fun of Irish jig and zydeco swing! It’s going to be great!!
Also this year all stages will be set up in a cabaret style with tables and chairs. The audiences are encouraged to bring their own food and drink making for a very affordable & enjoyable live music event!
In Narrabeen there are a host of world food restaurants and dining outlets including JB & Sons, Fish & Chips, Lebanese Kebabs, Spanish Tapas, Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Indian & an a la carte resturant. There is also Woollies, Bakers Delight, coffee & cake cafes & a bottle shop - so everything you want is covered!
The Festival doesn’t happen without some wonderful sponsors and volunteers which, on this occasion, include Torraca Enterprises, Northern Beaches Council, Ffwoin Multimedia, Radio Northern Beaches (transmitting ‘live to air’ from the event), The Shack, Humph Hall, The Manly Fig and Songs on Stage.
With a definite focus on the Northern Beaches, our common goals are to:
- To produce and present musicians and other performing artists including up and coming young artists.
- To provide, maintain and help create venues at which artists can be presented.
- To invite, involve and include our diverse community including the disabled and indigenous, especially with regard to music, performing arts, food, dance, costume and culture.
We are keen to hear from all potential volunteers to help us with the presentation and production of our festival. We need people to
- work on the gate
- help with administration
- help on stage (including compering)
- help with waste management
- help with musical instrument storage and retrieval as well as a whole range of other more skilled activities!
