Unity FESTIVAL is a celebration of diversity – a colourful fusion of the rich and diverse cultural influences in the Tweed and Byron Shires brought together to create a unique global event.
Unity brings together the creme of the region’s creative arts industries to share their story through dance, music and art.
The UNITY festival is a ‘must see’ for locals and visitors wanting an engaging and truly universal experience.

The Murwillumbah Showground is set amongst the lush sub-tropical cane fields with the stunning Border Rangers looming protectively in the distance and the iconic Mount Warning commanding a prominent view. As the sun sinks behind the ranges, the valley illuminates in a gentle golden glow and all that is alive is vivid, calm – almost surreal. And here we are, at the UNITY festival – bought together in this magnificent part of the world to celebrate all that is… as it is. We are in UNITY. We are commUNITY.
