History

Australia’s Aboriginal people are the oldest living culture on earth and hold wisdom passed on over through thousands of years of art, storytelling, song and dance. There are over 500 different Aboriginal nations and countries in Australia and Rainbow is held on the shared Country of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Wadawurrung people’s boundary. This place of gathering and celebration continues today as Aboriginal people live, practice and share some of their traditional and evolving culture and customs.

The Rainbow Festival

The Karrung Larr (Bark Hut Camp) is where you can enjoy some of the workshops, music and dance, good food, a yarn and have a good belly laugh.

Enjoy Kup Murri – Taste food cooked in the traditional ways from far north QLD and the Torres Strait.

The end of January 2017 marked the 20th Anniversary of the annual Rainbow Serpent Festival held on Dja Dja Wurrung and Wadawurrung country, Western Victoria.

What was once a small gathering in a secluded clearing, the festival is now an internationally recognized weekend of music, culture, art and dance. While the festival has a reputation for dance music, it is rapidly gaining a name for its spiritual and cultural education. Indigenous People and culture play a large role in the program. Indigenous Australians make-up a large number of the festival’s participants.
