The Festival of Resilience recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region.

The Festival of Resilience is a partnership between Resilient Blue Mountains and the Blue Mountains City Council.
Seed funding for the Festival of Resilience has been provided through the NSW State Government Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund.
