With recent funding cuts to the arts sector along with a number of Aboriginal organisations feeling the brunt of the latest Federal Budget, Boomerang has had to rethink its future and has now become a biennial event. This year’s event that was to be held on 4th-6th October 2014 will now be postponed into next year. Boomerang Festival organisers are as ever committed to making sure that the momentum of pride and interest continues, and is currently seeking partners and supporters for its return on the 3rd– 5th October 2015. Australia has a reputation for producing world-class festivals and events and there are many across the Australian landscape but the Boomerang Festival is not just another music festival, it’s so much more with an extraordinary point of difference. Boomerang Festival has inspired a new direction in celebrating and sharing Indigenous culture and looks forward presenting the 2015 festival at the home of Bluesfest, the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm North of Byron Bay. Boomerang 2015 will continue to demonstrate the standard of excellence, the empowerment across community and highlight the extraordinary and meaningful cultural practices that reflect our age-old traditions and its relevance, discovery and maintenance in the 21st century.
