Our Bushland
Celebrating the biodiversity rich bushland of Cessnock-Kurri area.
OurBushland
Festival 2024
The 2024 event is confirmed for the weekend of 7-8 September 2024.
Why this weekend? 7 September is national Threatened Species Day. It marks the day that the Tasmanian Tiger became extinct in 1936, as a sharp reminder to conserve nature and protect our most precious and unique animals on the planet. Locally multiple critically endangered and vulnerable species rely on the high biodiversity values in the Lower Hunter, and we don't want to lose them. Our Bushland Festival aims to raise awareness, garner local community support and protection of this most treasured area.
We will be building on the success of years festival hosted which hosted an exciting range of information displays, market stalls, food and free face painting and mini workshops just for kids. This is a day full of fun for everyone.
Last years event hosted renowned musicians:
-
Melody Pool
-
The Lairs
-
24 Strings
-
Fish Fry
