OUR VISION STATEMENT

The Camden Haven Music Festival (CHMF) strives to deliver a festival of national significance that provides a unique celebration of fine and diverse musical experiences

The Camden Haven area occupies the southern part of the Greater Port Macquarie region, and is approximately half way between Taree and Port Macquarie on the mid north coast of NSW.  It is a region graced with some of the best weather and scenery in Australia.

For 13 years the Camden Haven Music Festival (CHMF) has welcomed visitors and locals to participate in one of the country’s most enjoyable regional festivals.

In 2008 our Festival performances will be presented in venues in Laurieton, North Haven, Kendall Wauchope and Port Macquarie. We offer music in a variety of styles, dance and theatre, in a friendly atmosphere served with typical country hospitality.

THE THREE BROTHERS STORY
