Black Gully Festival ’25

The much-loved Black Gully Festival returns on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the scenic Black Gully Reserve (behind NERAM on the south side of the creek).
This free, family-friendly festival is one of Armidale’s favourite spring celebrations, bringing the community together with a full day of music, art, environmental awareness and family fun.
From 10am to 7:30pm, three stages will come alive with performances curated by The Musicians of Armidale, featuring some of the region’s best bands, soloists and ensembles across a wide range of styles. Beyond the music, visitors can explore art displays, market stalls, and interactive activities that celebrate both creativity and sustainability.
With something for every age – from kids’ activities to food, crafts and community stalls – the Black Gully Festival is the perfect way to enjoy a spring day outdoors and experience the vibrant spirit of Armidale.
