Festival Information

Kindred People takes place on Boonwurrung Country, where we gather with respect, care and deep acknowledgement of place. Guided by Indigenous cultural protocols, the festival creates space for people to arrive gently, to feel welcomed, and to connect — with Country, with one another, and with the stories held here.
