Friends of Castlemaine State Festival is a social group dedicated to supporting this iconic community event.
Extend your enjoyment of the Castlemaine State Festival by becoming a Friend and participating in Friends events spread out over the two years leading up to each Festival.
Events vary from year to year. Past activities have included special concerts, musical salons, Friends only visits to artists studios, car rallies, high teas and trivia nights. Profits raised from these events and Friends membership fees go towards subsidising the presentation of a particular work or performance during the Castlemaine State Festival. Since 2001 the Friends have raised over $100,000 supporting six Festivals.
