The festival was unable to go ahead this year but organisers have put together an online program to showcase high-end chamber music talent.
A series of curated concerts will take place online between November 28 and December 4.
Tickets are now available at portfairyspringfest.com.au and start from $25.
The online program has been put together by the festival's co-directors Monica Curro and Stefan Cassomenos.
Featured artists will include the Australian World Orchestra, Then This, Wattleseed Ensemble, Songmakers Australia, Sutherland Trio, Plexus Collective, Stephen McIntyre, Aleksandr Tsiboulski and Deborah Cheetham.
The work of south-west artists will also be featured alongside the music.
KEEP POSTED
Australia post has announced extended hours for the Port Fairy Post Office to deal with expected increased demand in the lead-up to Christmas.
Monday to Friday 9am-5pm trading will continue with the addition of Saturday openings from 10am-noon. The extended hours began on Monday and carry through to December 23.
Australia Post General Manager Post Office Network David McNamara said the extended trading hours were to serve community needs in the lead into Christmas.
"The Port Fairy Post Office has extended its opening times to provide our customers greater flexibility with their sending and receiving," Mr McNamara said.
He also urged customers who planned to use the post to send Christmas gifts or receive parcels to do so sooner rather than later.
"For delivery within Australia, presents are recommended to be sent no later than December 12 and by express post on December 19," he said.
