Why the Tamworth Country Music Festival is Perfect for Families!
As a family travel blogger, I’m always on the lookout for events that deliver fun, entertainment, and memories to last a lifetime. That’s why I’m beyond excited to announce that my family and I will be heading to the Toyota Country Music Festival in Tamworth this January, thanks to Toyota!
Whether you’re country music fans or just after a family-friendly adventure, this festival is an absolute must for Melbourne families. What Makes the Toyota Country Music Festival Special? Held over 10 days, the Toyota Country Music Festival is the largest and longest-running country music festival in the southern hemisphere.
Tamworth comes alive with live performances, street entertainers, and activities galore! The best part? It’s a non-gated event, so you can freely wander through the bustling streets, soaking in the festival vibe. Family Fun for Everyone This festival truly shines when it comes to catering for families.
Here’s what we’re most excited about:
• 🎡 The Family Zone: It’s a festival within a festival! Think dodgem cars, a Ferris wheel, the Mega Drop, teacups, and so much more.
• 🎶 Concerts for All Ages: Don’t miss the Free concerts, at Toyota Park including a special appearance by the Wiggles cruising around Tamworth in their new Toyota HiLux ‘Big Red Ute’. That’s bound to delight the little ones.
• 🎠 Award-Winning Tamworth Regional Playground: This play space is designed for kids of all ages and will be perfect for some downtime between activities.
No trip to Tamworth is complete without:
• 🌟 Wandering down Peel Street to enjoy buskers and street performances.
• 📸 Taking a family selfie with the iconic Big Golden Guitar.
• 🤠 Visiting AELEC for the 2025 ABCRA National Finals Rodeo.
Why You Should Visit The Toyota Country Music Festival is so much more than music.
It’s a celebration of culture, community, and fun—designed to keep every member of the family entertained.
