Now in its 16th year, the 5 Lands Walk Winter Festival is set to return from June 10 to July 2, offering fun, engagement and unique insights for the community and visitors alike.
Whether your interest is First Nations culture, visual arts, music, the natural beauty of the Central Coast or the fabled 10km coastal walk from MacMasters Beach to Terrigal, the expanded 2023 program has something for everyone, regardless of age.
Throughout it all, the Darkinjung message of inclusiveness is clear, commencing with 5 Lands Walk Winter Lights featuring music, stories and culture at Terrigal Haven on June 10-11.
This will be followed by the dawn Awakening Ceremony at Kincumba Mountain on Saturday, June 17, the Terrigal Collective’s live music project 5 Nights for 5 Lands Walk on June 21-25, the 5 Lands Walk Opening Ceremony at Avoca Beach on Friday, June 23, and the 5 Lands Walk main event on Saturday, June 24.
There will be a Funday on Sunday, June 25, and the Mirring Aboriginal Women’s Toorongong Gathering Winter Finale at Norah Head on July 2.
The 5 Lands Walk Winter Festival 2023 provides a special opportunity to showcase and enjoy the best of the Central Coast.
5 Lands Walk President Pauline Wright said she was particularly excited about the 5 Lands Walk Winter Lights at Terrigal.
“I am also excited about new umbrella events on Sunday, June 25, including the Ettalong Jazz Festival, Bravewords Live! at Avoca Beach Picture Theatre and the Celestial Emu symphony concert at Central Coast Grammar,” she said.
“Through it all, Coasties and visitors will gain new perspectives on the 5 Lands Walk, an extraordinary community event made possible by the generosity of the community for the community.
“I warmly invite (residents) to register to participate in this amazing free event at www.5landswalk.com.au
“In doing so they will also go into the draw for a three-night stay for two at Terrigal’s luxurious Star of the Sea apartments (conditions apply).”
