Yalgali
OUR FIRST NATIONS HUB
Sydney Fringe Festival begins at Yalgali, our First Nations Hub celebrating fresh voices, bold stories, and deep connection to Country.
Held over three powerful days at PACT on Gadigal land, Yalgali features storytelling, music, theatre, and film; all by mob, for mob and allies. With a focus on new work from local First Nations artists, the program blends performance with community and ceremony.
Join us for a fire ceremony, live shows, and connection-driven events like Open Mic and Koori-oke. This is a space for celebration and truth-telling, gathering and joy, where the world’s oldest living culture leads the way in creativity and collective spirit.
Come together to honour Country, uplift community, and open the Sydney Fringe Festival.
Yalgali Program
YALGALI
Is named after the sweet nectar and blossoming essence of the ‘Gadi’ (Grass) Trees. It’s a homage to the enduring spirit of Gadigal country and its people and an acknowledgment of the owners of the land on which we will gather.
