The Heartbeat of Wynnum Fringe

Join us for Yana Marumba, the cherished opening ceremony of Wynnum Fringe, where we honor the rich cultural heritage of the Quandamooka People. Yana Marumba, meaning 'Walk Good' in the Jandai language, invites you to step into a journey of respect, unity, and celebration. As we gather on Quandamooka Country, this powerful tradition sets the tone for the festival, grounding us in the wisdom and spirit of the land. Let us gather together, embracing the vibrant arts and stories that connect us all outside The Augathella Spiegeltent, a beautiful historic structure recently transported from Bidjara Country in Western Queensland.
