Nannup is part of Nyoongar Boodjar lands and is home to 14 language groups. Nannup town is situated on the lands of the Bibbulmun people, and the north side of the Blackwood River (Bilyar Goorbillyup) becomes Wardandi country. The festival takes place during Bunuru – Second summer (season of adolescence). We love, honour and cherish this place, and we are committed to respecting, protecting, and sustaining it both culturally and environmentally. Through every action, we strive to tread lightly, celebrate Country, and ensure it is nurtured and preserved for generations to come.
