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.

Giiyong Festival is presented with the support of the Australian Federal Government through Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program, the NSW Government through Create NSW

Dhilwaan Yarrkural (Nightfall Dance) at Giiyong Festival 2024 is supported by the NSW Aboriginal Land Council Regional Event Grant.
