Matsumura Blues Festival Inc is wholly run by volunteers and operates on a not-for-profit basis. Our community organisation is based in the City of Boroondara.

​

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. We acknowledge and uphold their continuing relationship to this land.​

​

A special thanks to...

​

• Heather Para from RoadSong for her continuing sage advice and generosity. 

 

• The talented and generous visual artist Bradley (@_the_bradley) for designing the jailhouse poster and logo!​

 

• Thanks to the Boroondara City Council for their generous in-kind support in providing the venue and venue staff for our first concert on 7 June 2025 under its Community Arts Venue Grant program and to the assistance provided by Essential Events and Catering.

 

• Thank you also to The Postmaster Hotel and Skinny Dog Hotel for their generous in-kind promotional support and encouragement.

 

 

We are searching for festival sponsors to help support the costs of running these community events in 2025 and beyond.

​

Please get in touch if you would like to partner with us, we would love to hear from you.

We express our gratitude for the in-kind and other promotional supporters
