The Yarrabah Music and Cultural Festival is making a comeback on October 7 in Far North Queensland, and is poised to be the best one yet.

The lineup includes Jessica Mauboy, Electric Fields, Jessie Lloyd, and the Yarrabah Brass Band.

This event is a part of the Queensland Music Trails, encouraging people to explore and enjoy the natural and cultural wonders of the region.

Everyone, whether locals or travellers, can enjoy this free festival, dancing and celebrating the world's oldest living culture in the tropical paradise of Far North Queensland.

While tickets are free, you need to register at Moshtix to secure your spot.

Headliner Jessica Mauboy says, "I am more than honoured to be headlining Yarrabah Music & Cultural Festival this year for QLD Music Trails!"

"I am looking forward to October and can't wait to see all the smiling faces in Yarrabah on Gunggandji Country! See you all there!"

Yarrabah, just an hour's drive from Cairns, is a picturesque locale, surrounded by hills and sea, making it the ideal location for a lively music festival.

Suitable for all ages, the event is organised by QMF (Queensland Music Festival) and the Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council.

The festival brings together fantastic music performances, captivating visual arts, and diverse flavours, all showcasing the incredible talent not only from the Yarrabah community but also from beyond.

"Yarrabah Music and Cultural Festival drives significant visitation and positive social and economic impact for the region and a headliner like Jessica Mauboy is a great way to put Yarrabah on the map as one of the world's most unique music festivals," Yarrabah mayor Ross Andrews said.

"To have one of Australia's most successful artists performing as part of our 2023 event is a major coup. We look forward to welcoming Jessica to the region for a full day of live music, food stalls, local art, culture and kids rides."

There will be a variety of workshops available at an additional cost, including weaving, wood artifact making, shell necklace crafting, and damper making. Participating in these workshops offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience Yarrabah in a special way and engage with the local community.

QMF and Queenslan Music Trails chief executive Joel Edmonson said the festival is one of Australia's most unique.

"Yarrabah Music and Cultural Festival is very dear to QMF's heart and we are thrilled to be able to work with the community to deliver a great experience again for people around the country,"

"There are few other places in Australia that you can participate in an experience of country like this."

The Yarrabah Music & Cultural Festival has come a long way since its modest start in 2012, which aimed to showcase the revived Yarrabah Brass Band.

Over time, it has transformed into one of North Queensland's top destination events.

Now, it stands as the ultimate celebration, highlighting the community's most remarkable sights, sounds, and cultural traditions.
