Winter Blues Festival, one of Victoria’s longest running and most iconic festival returns to Echuca in 2026 for four days of world-class blues and roots in the Murray Region. Winter Blues has long felt like a homecoming: a grassroots, all-in experience that turns Echuca–Moama into a live music hub each winter. From 23-26 July, expect unforgettable performances filling venues, streets, and the stunning riverfront.
Winter Blues celebrates blues and roots music from across Australia, offering a weekend where music lovers reconnect, new friendships form, and live music takes centre stage across the region.
