The award winning Giiyong Festival will take place at Jigamy, just north of Eden. It is a multi-art form festival for the whole family, celebrating traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture through dance, art, music, film, food and spoken word performances.
Giiyong Festival is the only event of its type held within the Yuin Nation, which stretches from the Shoalhaven River down into East Gippsland in Victoria and across to the Great Dividing Range.
Everyone is welcome to this celebration of Aboriginal culture - traditional and contemporary. There is something for the whole family. Get hands-on and completely immersed in Culture.
