Peninsula Summer Music Festival returns to kick off 2025 with a distinct program of music events, taking place in venues across the Mornington Peninsula region.

Local and international artists will span across wineries, and quaint churches as well as our own Peninsula Hot Springs to perform a program of music that encompasses brand-new works and embraces cross-genre sounds. We are in the humble company of various venues across the region including Aboriginal gathering place Willum Warrain, Moorooduc Estate, Port Phillip Estate and Main Ridge Estate wineries, Balnarring Civic Reserve, St John’s Anglican Church in Flinders (as the festival hub) and four aged care centres across the region.
