Yabun Festival – Australia’s largest one-day celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures – returns to Victoria Park on the land of the Gadigal people this January 26th, hosting an epic lineup of First Nations talent on its stages.
Yabun Festival is an annual event that was first founded in 2001 as a continuation of the first Survival Day events which were held throughout the 90s. As an 100% Aboriginal owned and operated event (courtesy of Gadigal Information Services), Yabun Festival boasts the richness and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, offering a day filled with family-friendly fun and celebrations of culture.
