Event details to be confirmed.

Ngan Girra means 'gathering' and the event celebrates the heritage of Mungabareena reserve as a meeting place and the festival proomotes Indigenous culture.

Traditionally each year the Indigenous people of Southern New South Wales and Northern Victoria met at Mungabareena to perform ceremonies, exchange goods and discuss tribal lore. They would then traval to the high country to feast on the Bogong moth.

Today the festival is a living cultural show which explores the richness of traditional and contemporary Indigenous cultures. People who attend the festival are treated to cultural performances from singers and dancers, as well as boomerang and spear throwing, bush tucker and various indigenous stalls and displays.
