Two iconic festivals, one magical week in nature!


Rudekat and Dreadagade are back to their old tricks, gathering the wildlings together to co-create a week of unforgettable experiences. Nestled by the shimmering waters of Far North Qld’s crystalline Emerald Creek, Kuranda Roots and Bushweek combine forces to present a range of art and craft workshops, bodywork, yoga, open mic sessions and an exciting music program.


Arrive early for Bushweek and help build the artistic side of the festival, by participating in stage design and creative workshops, or simply enjoy the stunning natural environment. Bushweek will roll into Kuranda Roots-now in its 23rd year- and feature an eclectic reggae, soul and world music program. The theme this year is creative collaboration, and the program will hold space for more spontaneous jams and play.


Kuranda Roots is family friendly, and is a drug and alcohol free space. Kanjini is a nature reserve so unfortunately you must leave your furry family members at home.
We will have food and drink vendors catering to most dietary types, an art gallery and a craft village.


We encourage you to join us for the whole week, but we will have weekend tickets available as well as Saturday and Sunday passes.

Kuranda Roots Festival pays full respect and acknowledges the importance that Black Music (Reggae, RnB, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues and many more genres) plays in the living history of contemporary music. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter movement and Stop Black Deaths In Custody. We also cherish the rich culture of First Nations people of Australia and the Pacific who bring us to a state of reverence and connection to country. Massive thanks and praise to the Buluwai and Djabugay bama on whose land we celebrate on.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal land!
