Giiyong Ganya

Introducing…

Giiyong Ganya 2026

The beloved Giiyong Festival will now become a biennial event, next presented in November 2027.

This year, they welcome you back to Jigamy to experience a new event, Giiyong Ganya, an intimate presentation of Aboriginal Culture and practice, storytelling, music and art on Thaua Country.

Event producers Twofold Aboriginal Corporation and its partners will be delivering a week of creative and cultural learning to build capacity in the local Aboriginal Community, helping support emerging artists and Cultural leaders.

Giiyong Ganya is not a festival format. It is designed to offer skills development opportunities for Aboriginal people and immersive cultural experiences for audiences.

A free evening Concert on the lawns outside the Twofold Aboriginal Corporation office at Jigamy, between Pambula and Eden on Thaua Country.

During the day, private workshops exploring Bush Foods and Native Plants, Traditional Fibres and Weaving, Dance, Poetry and Shell Work. Bookings are opening now on their website. These workshops are a terrific opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal Culture and are open to the public. Bookings are essential to maintain the small, intimate groups and ensure the best possible experience.

Giiyong Ganya will create an intimate atmosphere for audiences, allowing people to connect more deeply with Culture and Country.

(Please note: there will be no markets).
