The festival started as a way to celebrate the local community, arts, and environment, and it has grown into a significant event attracting national and international artists and thousands of festival-goers from across Australia and around the world.
The Falls Festival has always uniquely celebrated music, art, and culture. It serves as a platform for showcasing established and emerging artists across various genres, including rock, hip-hop, indie music, electronic music, and more. The festival also includes dance, comedy, theatre, circus, and other arts performances, creating a vibrant cultural experience.
Falls Festival includes music performances across its multiple stages, participatory arts and crafts, gourmet food and drink from local vendors, and engaging in various onsite activities designed to enhance the community and cultural experience.

HISTORY
The Falls Festival started in 1993 when a few local friends decided to hold a small event for about 11,000 people in Lorne, Victoria. The idea was to bring tourists to the area to support the local economy during the off-peak season. It proved successful and quickly became an annual event, gaining notoriety and popularity over the years. Following the success in Lorne, the festival expanded to other locations to accommodate more attendees and diversify its impact.
Over the years, the Falls Festival has become known for its laid-back atmosphere and beautiful natural settings, alongside its strong commitment to sustainability, including waste reduction initiatives and environmental conservation efforts. It remains one of Australia's most popular music festivals, renowned for its broad array of entertainment and picturesque locations.
