Celebrate this NAIDOC week with live music, bushtucker talks and tastings. Participate in weaving and dance workshops run by Aboriginal owned business Bush to Bowl.

The 2024 NAIDOC Week theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud. The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
