First held in 2019, River Dreaming: A Day of Culture is a spirited celebration of the Clarence Valley’s proud Bundjalung, Gumbaynggirr, and Yaegl communities, and offers visitors to the 2024 Grafton Jacaranda Festival an opportunity to immerse themselves within the history of First Nations people through traditional music, language, dancing, and storytelling.

The event will also include interactive workshops and market stalls.

River Dreaming: A Day of Culture is a free community event and will commence at 10am on Friday, October 25, in Grafton’s Market Square.
