YIRRAMBOI Festival
In the local languages of the Boonwurrung and Woiwurrung peoples, YIRRAMBOI means TOMORROW.
YIRRAMBOI festival platforms the interconnectedness and diversity of First Nations creatives, locally, nationally and internationally.
A 10 day feast of mediums spanning the breadth of artistic expressions with a collective voice of resilience and evolutionary practices. Emerging, mid-career and established First Nations creatives taking back space to crack open the heart of Melbourne, revealing the hum of country beneath. And Fed Square will play host to two YIRRAMBOI events.
Will you hear it?
Returning for its 4th Iteration from the 4–14 May 2023, YIRRAMBOI will again invite audiences to immerse themselves in our stories, our truth, our way.
