Kuranda’s roots run very deep. For countless millennia the Djabugay and Bulway people have called Kuranda home. It is an honour to be able to hold Kuranda Roots Festival on their sacred land and to have them share with us their culture, their dance and their music.
Kuranda Roots is now in it’s 11th year and is a celebration of music and creative culture aimed at bringing together people from all generations and all walks of life in one love and unity. From humble beginnings at the fantastic Kuranda Amphitheatre, Roots now calls The Billabong home – a rambling ranch in the hills only 3km from town with comfortable campgrounds surrounded by forest. The festival spans three days, with a program featuring an exciting array of bands, DJ’s, dancers, workshops, a market village and is very family friendly.
