Stanthorpe Music & Arts Festival

Stanthorpe Music and Arts Festival is an explosion of live music, visual art and performances in the heart of the Granite Belt, just 3 hours from Brisbane.

Held on Saturday, December 4, 2021, the Stanthorpe Music and Arts Festival features a jam-packed program of music, roving performances, artist exhibitions and a chance to get hands on with art workshops.

Chill out in the Chai tent, sip on the Granite Belt’s award-winning wines and craft beer, and savour the local pop-up food stalls.

Leading the live music line-up is Brisbane-based gypsy-jazz band Cigány Weaver, joined by jazz, soul, funk, latin-groove band Come What May; one-man band Mitch King’s dirty blues; bush ballad/folk duo Penny & Roger; and pop folk band Nine Year Sister. There will also be a number of “Short & Sweet” open mic style sets between bands.
