Gifted by Elders, YIRRAMBOI means tomorrow in the local languages of the Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung.
A 10-day feast of mediums spanning the breadth of artistic expression, YIRRAMBOI returns for its fifth iteration, breaking new ground as it takes centre stage in Narrm’s arts precinct with a dedicated festival hub, the Uncle Jack Charles – named as a tribute to the late Uncle Jack Charles, a trailblazer of First Nations storytelling.
This year’s festival explores four powerful anchors – Legacy, Joy, Reclamation and Akin – that form the foundation of its most ambitious program to date.
In 2025, YIRRAMBOI hosts a convergence of 400+ First Nations creatives across 180 performances and activating over 40 venues, cracking open the heart of Narrm and revealing the hum of Country beneath.
