About the event

Yabun, meaning ‘music to a beat’ in Gadigal language, is Australia’s largest annual one-day festival celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Established in 2001 as a continuation of the very first Survival Day events held throughout the 1990s.


Yabun Festival takes place annually on January 26th and is returning to Victoria Park, proudly located on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people.


The festival showcases the richness and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.


You can expect to see all the elements you love, including the bustling Market Stalls, engaging Speak Out panels, the Jarjums tent with all-day children’s activities and the Corroboree ground highlighting the traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dance cultures from dance groups from far and wide.


Everyone is welcome to join the event to honour and celebrate the enduring legacy of the world’s oldest living cultures.
