CresFest
Creswick, Victoria
Creswick's three-day folk and roots festival — 235 events across 21 venues, with the Moment app tracking eight festival buses live on the map.
The festival
CresFest is a three-day folk and roots festival held each April in Creswick, in Victoria's central goldfields. The 2026 festival runs from 10 to 12 April, with 235 events across 21 venues around the town.

With venues spread across a town rather than a single site, getting patrons between them matters as much as the program itself — which is where CresFest leans on Moment most.
Why Moment
Live bus tracking with the Moment Tracker
CresFest runs shuttle buses between venues across town. Using Moment's live tracker, patrons could see eight festival buses moving in real time on the map — so instead of guessing when the next bus would arrive, they could watch it approach and time their walk to the stop. It turns transport from a source of anxiety into part of the app experience.
A town-wide program, made navigable
235 events across 21 venues is a lot to hold in your head. Patrons used the app to see what's on, where, and when — and to build a plan that accounts for the travel between venues.
Tailored to the festival
The CresFest team worked closely with Moment to shape the app around their festival — custom branding and structure that felt like CresFest, not a generic tool.
How patrons used it
Across the festival window, the Moment app for CresFest saw:
- 1,354 unique users (devices)
- 5,130 deep-link opens — patrons sharing and jumping straight to specific acts, venues, and times
- 8 buses tracked live on the map during the festival
Working with the Moment App team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were responsive, supportive, and always on call whenever we needed assistance. The team was incredibly open to feedback and quick to implement tweaks and improvements that helped tailor the app perfectly to our festival. Most importantly, our festival goers absolutely loved using the app — it became such a valuable part of the festival experience. We'd highly recommend the Moment App team to any event looking for a professional, collaborative, and user-friendly app solution.
