Curated by William Mabo, Yabu Gugay Sun Gathering launches NAFA 2025 with a powerful sunrise celebration on Saturday 27 September.
As first light breaks, William Barton joins Mabo and the Wulgurukaba Walkabout’s in a stirring blend of dance, didgeridoo, and song. This dawn chorus will be shared citywide via ABC Radio North Queensland on 630AM.
Honouring over 60,000 years of culture, the gathering weaves spirit, connection, and Country into a new day—singing the city and the festival into being.
