Strummingbird brings a "modern country" music experience to Ballarat, serving as the exclusive Victorian host for the festival. The event takes place at Victoria Park on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with performances and activities running from midday until 11pm. The festival is designed to provide a comprehensive country experience, drawing visitors from across the state and supporting the regional live music scene.

The 2026 lineup is headlined by Post Malone and includes a selection of local Ballarat artists. In addition to live music, the program features line dancing sessions led by Maddison Glover. The event is expected to provide a significant economic boost to the region, benefiting local hospitality and accommodation providers as festivalgoers explore the surrounding area.

For those wishing to stay on-site, Victoria Park offers camping options with various pitch sizes available for an additional fee. Organizers have implemented a strict no pass-out policy between the festival grounds and the campsite.
