Future Series - The Bush Banquet At Dingo Festival

About

The Bush BanquetSit at the long table. Share the plate. Slow down.We're kicking off the festival the way we know best: fire, a shared meal, and a table full of inspiring humans. Chef Mindy Woods of Karkalla — restaurateur and proud Bundjalung woman — leads a long table dinner built around native ingredients, Country and culture, told through food.Aunty Delta opens the evening with a Welcome to Country, dancer Mitch King performs, and Benja Roberts and the DINGO Choir bring it home in song, before we sit together for storytelling through food.No stage. No rush.Just Bundjalung stories, shared plates, and a long table under the trees.VENUEThe Lumber Yard, 8 Station Street, Bangalow NSWFRIDAY 9th OCTOBER5.00pm — Guests arrive5.45pm — Aunty Delta's Welcome to Country, dance and choir performance6.30pm — Seated.
