NAIDOC Week 2026: Yarn at The Farm

Next date: Thursday, 09 July 2026 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM

Celebrate First Nations culture during NAIDOC Week these school holidays!

Hills Shire residents are invited to have a Yarn at The Farm as part of Council’s NAIDOC Week celebrations from 10am – 2pm on Thursday 9 July at Bella Vista Farm. This event celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and provides an opportunity for community connection, learning and respect.

Council has partnered with local First Nations enterprise Muru Mittigar to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture with storytelling and performances, free arts and crafts, dance workshops, sporting activations, market stalls, and First Nations inspired food.

More details coming soon.

Council is looking for food stallholders and market stallholders selling items such as arts and crafts, jewellery and food products.

For this event, we are not accepting applications from service providers. Council is working directly with a local First Nations group to deliver services, information and community engagement opportunities as part of the NAIDOC Week celebrations.
