The Koorie Heritage Trust invite you to celebrate Christmas a little differently this weekend

The Koorie Heritage Trust are bringing back their one-of-a-kind festive celebration, Koorie Krismas, with a fun-filled free event this weekend in the heart of the city.

It's a jam-packed Christmas party with live music, comedy and dance performances, as well as a special, magical appearance from Koorie Klaus. There's a huge line-up of First Nations performers, including Djirri Djirri dancers, comedians Corey Saylor Brunskill, musical duo Phil and Trudy Edgeley; drag artist Cerulean, musical duo Kristal West, the acclaimed Dave Arden Band, The Merindas and much more. 

If you’re needing to get your Chrissy shopping ticked off, Koorie Krismas has you covered too. There'll be a wide array of Indigenous-owned businesses selling their creations, including Melbourne faves like Clothing the Gaps and Haus of Dizzy, as well as crafts and art pieces that would look perfect under anyone’s tree this Christmas. Or you can make your own handmade gift at the gum leaf painting workshop. 

It's all happening on Saturday, December 2 at Federation Square, from 10am to 3pm. Find out more on the website.
