The Saltwater Freshwater Festival is the largest regional Aboriginal Cultural event on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia. It is a nomadic event that moves to a different location in the region each Australia Day (26 January).
The Festival is run by the Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance Aboriginal Corporation, a peak body for Aboriginal arts and culture on the Mid North Coast, that aims to position Aboriginal art and culture as the foundation for the long-term social, economic and environmental development of the region’s Aboriginal communities.
The Saltwater Freshwater Festival is a showcase of the best Aboriginal talent in the country and most importantly, in the region. It is a culmination of a range of arts and cultural activities undertaken by Saltwater Freshwater Arts during each calendar year, providing an authentic Aboriginal experience for visitors and local communities.
