New Annual acknowledges the traditional country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples. We respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing relationship with the land, and recognise that they are the proud survivors of more than two hundred years of dispossession.
Thank you to all of the fabulous attendees who danced, scrubbed, built, explored, listened and learned with us across the ten days of New Annual 2024.
With special thanks to our Presenting Partner University of Newcastle, whose continued support helps shape New Annual.
We would also like to acknowledge and specifically thank the NSW Government through the Multicultural NSW "Stronger Together" grant, Transport for NSW "Open Streets" program, Create NSW, and the Destination NSW "Regional Event Fund" for their support of the festival.
