About 600 people are expected to attend the festival at the Waiora Scout Camp this year.
Festival site manager Andrew Bowen said everything would be ready by the time campers started arriving at the festival site today.
About 400 volunteers helped organise, set up, run and then pack away the festival, Mr Bowen said yesterday.
"It’s like a pop-up community. We come together for these four days and we have a great time, then when it’s all over we pack it up and go our own ways and start thinking about next year."
Serbian Balkan gypsy duo Faith I Branko and Dunedin’s Nadia Reid would be two acts not to miss, Mr Bowen said.
"We’ve got a great line-up of not only local and national acts but international as well."
Festival-goers would bring in the new year with a barn dance on Sunday before Dunedin band Tahu and the Takahes would sing in the New Year, he said.
The festival has been run annually by the Dunedin Folk Club since 1975.
