Port Fairy Spring Music Festival

Come find yourself...

Over three decades in the making, this highly regarded festival welcomes visitors from far and wide. Travellers love it but some locals still need convincing.

Everyone is welcome. Knowledge of music is not required. “Come find yourself” is an invitation extended to travellers and locals alike. They are encouraged to be immersed in music, enjoy life’s delights and form lasting friendships—all while feeling the warm embrace of spring. Creating an army of flag-bearers from residents of Port Fairy helps build pride in an event that takes over their town.

Shearwaters returning to Port Fairy for millennia, inspire a new symbol encapsulating the rhythm of flight, sheet music and the fluttering of flags in a warm, coastal breeze.

Port Fairy is where soaring cliffs, pristine beaches and crystal clean rivers meet the sea. These landscapes are postcards in an alluring story of discovery, drawing travellers from far and wide.

The all important website is the centre of the Festival’s world. We built a new one from scratch, integrating it with existing ticketing infrastructure for a seamless experience. Beyond the Festival’s months long season, a new archive grows, fostering interest all year round.

The final piece of the puzzle is the socials. Beyond individual program posting the campaign promotes the music, the place, the natural environment and the pleasures of life.

Please do come and find yourself.

 

Envelope Group are so much more than a branding agency — they are truly insightful creative artists who took great care and completed rigorous research to articulate the core essence of our Festival, its 36 year history, and the audiences we have served over the decades. Our rebrand isn’t just a pretty face — there are layers of meaning in the artwork which encapsulate where and who we are, and what we aspire to do. The wildlife, nature and colours of South West Victoria, our Art Music traditions and innovations, and the fact that we are flag-bearers for Australian cultural enrichment and wellbeing. It has been an absolute joy to work with them at every stage of the process.
