The Winter Blues Festival in Echuca Moama has been a favourite of Australia’s blues music scene for 25 years! What started as a small gathering of blues enthusiasts has grown into one of the country’s most popular free-entry music festivals, attracting thousands of visitors each year.
First held in the late 1990s, the festival was designed to bring life to Echuca Moama during the quieter winter months. Over the years, it has flourished, featuring top Australian blues artists and turning the historic Port Precinct into a buzzing hub of live music, great food, and community spirit.
Now celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, the festival continues to evolve, drawing bigger crowds and showcasing an incredible mix of traditional and contemporary blues acts. With its rich history and strong local support, the Winter Blues Festival remains a must-visit event for music lovers from across the country.
