Folklife is the living culture of the many peoples of Australia.

Our folklife is one of our most precious cultural assets. It is our expression of who we are as individuals, as communities, as a nation. As we change so too does our culture.

The Victorian Folklife Association is dedicated to the protection and promotion of the cultural heritage of the people of Victoria, in particular, to those informal, unofficial aspects of our heritage which are folklife.

Our mission is taken from the 1989 UNESCO Recommendation on Safeguarding Traditional Culture and Folklore which requires action by signatory nations to identify, preserve and conserve, protect and disseminate traditional culture and folklife
