Why
Yabun, “music to a beat” in the Gadigal language, is one of the most significant cultural gatherings on the national calendar. As the largest and most powerful community-led celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in Australia, Yabun brings First Nations people and allies together to honour history, acknowledge loss, and celebrate the ongoing survival, strength, and excellence of First Nations Peoples. The festival showcases the depth, diversity and vibrancy of First Nations Culture through a full day of traditional and contemporary music, dance, panel discussions, workshops, markets and community activations.
Held annually on 26 January, Yabun offers a vital space for truth-telling, cultural expression and community connection. For many, it is a day of reflection and remembrance; for others, it is a powerful affirmation of endurance and cultural pride. For all who attend, it is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with the world’s oldest living culture. Read more.
