Nimbin Roots Fest Is Back This Weekend

The hills are alive again — and this time, it’s with folk, blues, and roots.
Nimbin Roots Fest returns this weekend, bringing three days of music, connection, and country charm to one of the most iconic creative towns in the Northern Rivers.

Set across Nimbin’s leafy venues and open-air spaces, the festival celebrates live music in its purest form — unplugged, grassroots, and community-driven. Expect soulful sets, spontaneous jams, and that unmistakable Nimbin spirit: laid-back, creative, and welcoming.
