The annual Nannup Music festival brings together the community for weekend of dancing and fun.

The Nannup Music Festival, which occurs on the long weekend for Labour day in Western Australia - usually the first Monday in March - has its origins in the South West Folk Festival.

The SWFF was held on alternate years in Albany and Busselton on the Australia Day long weekend, until it went the way of many community organised events, due to burnout of the small number of volunteers who organised it year after year.

Nannup is a town located in WA. It is best recommended to travel by car to the festival.
