This year, we have created a central space for the festival, where you can pick up a guide and book tickets, check out three exhibitions including the Call to Create entries and hang out in a relaxed space to ponder your festival experience.
We also invite you to take part in workshops and enjoy performances that are detailed throughout the Festival program. The Festival Hub is a space where we want you to feel welcome and part of the festival family!
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Yorta Yorta Nation and the clans whose lands cover the area now called Greater Shepparton, the Kailtheban, Bangerang, and Nguaria-iilaiam-wurrung. We acknowledge that First Peoples have never ceded sovereignty over their lands. This always was, and always will be, their country. We are conscious that colonial laws and practices led to displacement and disempowerment, and that they continue to do so with a profound and rippling effect. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and to emerging leaders. We value their vision and strength that enabled the continuity of culture and connectedness to country.
