Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours that take the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists performing at two of our country’s largest festivals and sends them on the road to tiny halls in communities all over Australia. It is produced by Woodfordia Inc in partnership with many other wonderful Australian festivals, regional partners and great lovers and supporters of folk and contemporary acoustic music. It’s an opportunity for music-lovers from welcoming communities to invite artists from Home and Abroad into their towns, and a way of exploring this vast country in the spirit of hospitality and great fun.

The historic village of Dalgety, on the banks of the Snowy River, is the only town left on the Snowy River in NSW. After the Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme was built in the 1950’s, the old towns of Jindabyne and Adaminaby were flooded.

In 1902 Dalgety was gazetted as the site for the National Capital. Although there was much debate, it was finally thought to too close to Victoria so missed out to Canberra. Dalgety is a proud town and is renowned for hosting friendly and successful events including the Dalgety Show on the first Sunday in March.

Featuring soulful folk singer Claire Anne Taylor and folk powerhouse pair The Small Glories—Cara Luft & JD Edwards.

Proudly presented by the Dalgety Chamber of Commerce.
