It's good to meet you
The Festival’s mission is to celebrate and share authentic Aboriginal living culture with the wider community and commemorate Australia Day as a positive, inclusive family day for all communities to enjoy.The only Aboriginal cultural festival of its kind in regional NSW, it is a true showcase of local culture, skills, music, dance, art, lifestyle and culinary talent. Guests include local Elders, and musicians including Troy Cassar-Daley.
Among its goals is to pass on Aboriginal cultural knowledge to the region’s youth. The Festival is also about creating a platform for Aboriginal performers, artists and businesses and unearths the rich, diverse and thriving Goori culture here on the Mid North Coast. The Festival has received strong support from the corporate, government and private sectors as well as the local community.
We are Worimi, Biripi, Dunghutti and GumbaynggirrWe help drive change through innovative, arts and culture based programs designed for the Gumbaynggirr, Dunghutti, Biripi and Worimi Aboriginal communities across the Mid North Coast of NSW
I'm really looking forward to Saltwater Freshwater being held on Worimi Country this year- a great showcase of culture on a day that is so decisive.https://t.co/glXzCCB2LY#SaltwaterFreshwater #IndigenousX #Culture #Worimi #BarringtonCoast pic.twitter.com/Mt88K4BsOE— Joshua Gilbert (@GilbertJoshuaM) January 4, 2020
