EWINGAR RISING FUNDRAISING MUSIC FESTIVAL RETURNS TO THE NORTHERN NSW TOWN OF EWINGAR, TWO YEARS AFTER THE BUSHFIRES!

Ewingar Rising acknowledges the traditional custodians of the Bundjalung nation, the Wahlabul people, and pays respect to the Elders past, present and emerging.

We recognise this land was never ceded and acknowledge the continuation of culture and connection to land, sky and sea.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples and honour the rich diversity of the world’s oldest living culture.Join us for another weekend of great music and camping! And this time …. the grass is green, the birds are singing and the trees are in recovery from the bushfires of September- November 2019.

Ewingar Rising 2019 was a three-day fundraising music festival staged just six weeks after our area burned.

We’ve invited back the bands who supported us in 2019 – many who had gigs cancelled during the pandemic.

And this time…. the bands will be paid, and half of any profit will be donated to SupportAct, Australia’s only organisation to deliver crisis relief to those in the music industry.

We are grateful to Destination NSW, Yulgilbar Foundation and Healthy North Coast PHN for grants, Essential Energy for their much appreciated sponsorship and Mountain Blue for their generous donation - this event would not be possible without their funding and support!

This event will be "on donation" (what you can afford) for locals who suffered in the 2019 fires, including Drake, Tabulam, Ewingar, Bonalbo, Baryulgil and Rappville; and we will donate half of any profit to our Ewingar Community Hall for future events.

COVID Update July 2021: It's still on, folks! We are consulting with Health NSW to ensure we can go ahead with a safe and fun festival.

Please note that we are restricting numbers to ensure we comply with COVID safety regulations and of course the safety of our artists, volunteers, food and market stallholders and you.

Tickets are refundable in the event of postponing due to COVID.

Join us to celebrate community and how far we – and the bush - have all come since the 2019/20 bushfires!

If you are from these areas, please contact us at ewingarrising@gmail.com for a link to on donation ticketing. Those outside of these areas can purchase tickets at very affordable prices (please see the ticket section).
