About the Event

Wotjobaluk Nations Festival — Mob, Kin & Invited Guests Gathering

Saturday 13 December 2025 9:30am–11:00pm Dimboola

This year marks 20 years since Native Title was recognised for the Wotjobaluk Nations. Join us on Country for a special day dedicated to Mob, Kin, and Invited Guests, a time to honour Ancestors, celebrate our strength, and reflect on the journey of the past two decades.

The morning begins with a Mob & Kin Ceremony, followed by the Milestone Gathering Photo to commemorate this historic moment. Throughout the day, enjoy Cultural Workshops, Traditional Foods, and time to Rest, Refresh & Connect with Community and Country.
