The premier gathering
Our premier festival brings artists and audiences together for a multi-day, open-air celebration — hosted in partnership with a host Nation, on the land, for everyone.
Live performances across genres, outdoor Indigenous art exhibitions, food, and community — streamed live for those who can't be there in person.

What to expect
Three days, many ways to gather
From main-stage sets to quiet moments among the art, the Festival makes room for the whole community.
01
Live music across genres
Contemporary Indigenous artists take the stage across styles — from hip-hop and rock to folk, electronic, and everything between.
02
Outdoor art exhibitions
Indigenous art shown in the open air, woven through the grounds so the work lives alongside the music and the land.
03
Food & community
Shared meals, gathering spaces, and room for families, Elders, and youth to be together over the three days.
04
Streamed live
Every day is broadcast online, so relatives and supporters far from the grounds can still be part of the celebration.

Hosted in partnership
Held with a host Nation, on their terms
Every Festival is co-created with the community whose territory holds it. That partnership shapes the welcome, the ceremony, and the spirit of the gathering — so each year is personal to its place.
It's how we honour our service to the caretakers of the land we occupy, and why no two Festivals are ever the same.
