The Village Festival of Arts & Music is the Capricorn Coast’s major arts celebration staged annually by the Keppel Coast Arts Council since 2002. The Festival is a kaleidoscope of contemporary culture with something for everyone featuring music, performing arts, visual arts,  cultural arts, children’s activities, street theatre, workshops, food, stalls and on site camping.

 Entertainment highlights have included diverse acts such as Jeff Lang, Ash Grunwald, Waiting for Guiness, The Bull Sisters and Circus Oz. The festival includes both national profile artists as well as local and regional talent in a range of mediums with an emphasis on active participation in the arts 

The Village Festival is supported and managed by a large group of volunteers who share a common vision to stage an event that showcases and promotes their region’s positive and vibrant commitment to the arts. Patrons include not only local residents of Central Queensland but also arts and music enthusiasts from throughout the state and around the country

The 2008 event will be staged  29-31  August at the Yeppoon Pony Club, 1 km west of Yeppoon, a scenic beach town located 40 kilometers from Rockhampton on the beautiful Capricorn Coast.
