The Apollo Bay Music Festival is an annual event held in the quiet little town of Apollo Bay.
Apollo Bay has always been a bit of a tourist attraction.
But the town really comes alive during the annual music festival.
History of the Apollo Bay Music Festival
So far, 17 Apollo Bay Music Festivals have been held. The festival is always held on a weekend so that everyone can relax and enjoy the different music styles that the festival brings. Usually it is held mid or late March, but some of the events were held on April as well. The latest Apollo Bay Music Festival was a huge success and was held in March 2009.
Missed it? Don't worry, there will be another one coming up in 2010, Although there aren’t any details available yet regarding the next festival, it should definitely be worth the wait.

Highlights of the Apollo Bay Music Festival
The Apollo Bay Music Festival isn’t totally about bringing music to your ears, but there are also various workshops where you can participate and learn from. You won’t be moving just your feet either because one of the sponsors is a bar so expect to be holding a glass of wine or some fancy drink as you groove to the beats.
There are also plenty of contests to participate in which offers huge prizes. One of the contests in the recent 17th Apollo Bay Music Festival had Sony Playstation’3 and Sony Video Walkman’s to giveaway.
Check out some of the talent! Funny and intelligent street theatre!
