Help Save Bluesfest!

While the economic impact of Bluesfest is undeniable, the festival is still facing closure after its final event in 2025. However, there is hope. Local State MP for Ballina (which includes Byron Bay) Tamara Smith has launched an E-petition calling on the NSW Government to provide a rescue package for Bluesfest. If we reach 20,000 signatures, Parliament will be required to hold a debate on the future of Bluesfest. Currently at around 6,000 signatures in just 3 weeks. 

Sign the petition to urge the NSW Government to step in and rescue this vital cultural and economic gem. Add your voice here: Sign Petition and spread the word with #SaveBluesfest!
