Jamba Nyinayi Festival

Enjoy a soulful celebration of connection, culture and community this Easter in Coral Bay on WA’s World Heritage Listed Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) coastline.

Baiyungu Aboriginal Corporation, owners of Jamba Nyinayi Festival, invite people of all cultures, communities, and nationalities to Cardabia Station to camp and enjoy a remarkable line up of local and nationally recognised Indigenous performers plus workshops, storytelling and food.

Jamba Nyinayi means ‘sit for a while’ in Baiyungu language. Cardabia Station is owned and operated by the Baiyungu people and is a five-minute drive from Coral Bay.

Additional on-station camping packages will be available this year for three, four and five nights and include festival entry plus a range of inclusions and options.

‘Connection’ is the 2025 theme and the program is being finalised by Traditional Owner Host and Cultural Director Hazel Walgar, and Artistic Director David Hyams. As Traditional Owners, the Baiyungu People have long welcomed and guided visitors safely through Nyinggulu Country.

Tickets and the highly coveted camping spots will go on sale in late January 2025.

Jamba Nyinayi Festival is made possible thanks to the Presenting Partner Shire of Carnarvon; Major Supporters Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; and Rio Tinto; and supporters Tourism Western Australia, Regional Arts WA; Horizon Power and Ngaarda Media.
