The Port Fairy Folk Festival is a popular annual four-day music festival based in the historic fishing village of Port Fairy in Victoria, Australia.

Traditionally staged during the local Labour Day long weekend (the first Friday each March), the first event was held in 1976, and has been an annual fixture in the local calendar ever since. At first concentrating on Irish traditional music and culture, the focus has subsequently broadened to include a diverse range of styles and influences, from Blues/Roots to World Music.
