Yabun Festival 2013
Spend the day celebrating the very best in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and culture.
Overview
The rapidly expanding cultural phenomenon that is the Yabun Festival is Australia's largest single-day Indigenous festival. Celebrating the very best in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and culture, the Yabun Festival is not only a romping all-day party but also one of the most important Aboriginal cultural events on the calendar.
This year's musical line-up is jam-packed full of Indigenous idols and a host of emerging talents, with highlights such as headliner Warren H. Williams' unique brand of country music with a twist, barnstorming rock 'n' roll from Mop and the Drop Outs, and even a little of the risque from burlesque performer Constantina Bush. On top of the fine music offered by the festival, Yabun 2013 will feature a variety of cultural programs, such as community panels, information booths, and presentations from highly recognised politicians, academics, and community leaders.
The Yabun Festival is also one Australia Day party that you don't have to leave the kids behind for, with arts and craft stalls, 'hands on' games and theatre, and even traditional didgeridoo lessons all a part of the festivities. With 25,000 people expected to turn up to Victoria Park this year, the Yabun Festival promises to be a fascinating remembrance of Australia's Indigenous past and a thrilling exhibition of the very best in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and culture today.
