🔥 Caltowie Chilled Out ‘n’ Fired Up Music Festival – Music, Fires & Community Vibes 🇦🇺
One Day. Two Bonfires. Unlimited Positivity.
Imagine spending a crisp March day in tiny Caltowie (population ~50), surrounded by friends, live music, bonfires and community spirit. That’s the magic of Caltowie COFU, a laid-back festival that brings people together for great tunes and a powerful cause: supporting mental health services in regional South Australia.

🧭 Planning Tips
- Get Tickets early—festival often sells out in advance via the official Caltowie COFU website or Moshtix.
- Check Lineup & Updates on the COFU news page for artist announcements and festival updates.
- Pack Well: Camping is free and plentiful, but bring warm layers—regional nights get chilly.
Join the movement where music meets meaning—and where small-town Aussie energy powers big change. Come for the tunes, stay for the friendships… leave with a spark.
