Mildura Country Music Festival
The Mildura Country Music Festival was an annual Australian country music festival based in Mildura, Victoria. The 1994 event was held in October, which the Australian Country Music Ambassador, Kelly Tassone felt was "fast becoming a favourite festival with performers."[1] In 2005 it was sponsored by Telstra Countrywide. It focused on independent country music artists (about 95 percent of performers in the Australian country music industry).[2]
