A CELEBRATION OF ABORIGINAL CULTURE ON THE FAR SOUTH COAST OF NSW - FOR EVERYONE
Partners Twofold Aboriginal Corporation, Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council and South East Arts are pleased to again present Giiyong Festival at Jigamy, just north of Eden NSW on
Saturday 9 November 2024
Giiyong Festival provides a rare opportunity in South east NSW for the entire community to come together in celebration of Aboriginal arts, culture and resilience.
Giiyong means ‘come to welcome’ in the south coast language as spoken by local Elders. Everyone is welcome at Giiyong Festival, which brings you the best Aboriginal performers, presenters and speakers in one big day. LIVE MUSIC, THINKERS & SPEAKERS, DEMONSTRATIONS, WORKSHOPS, TRADITIONAL CULTURAL PRACTICES, ART, CRAFT, FOOD AND MORE.
Every part of this country is, always was and always will be, Aboriginal land. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal people, to Elders and Custodians past, present and emerging and in particular the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of the Bega Valley where Giiyong Festival makes its home – the people of the Yuin and Monaro nations.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this website may contain images and references to deceased people.
