Richmond RiverFest 26 was made possible by the power of collaboration. A coming together of Councils, community groups, Aboriginal orgnisations, and grassroots Landcarers, all united by a shared commitment to restoring the health of the Richmond River catchment. The Richmond Riverkeeper is proud to partner with the following organisations: Ballina Shire Council, Lismore City Council, Rous County Council, and Richmond Valley Council, Jagun Alliance, OzFish Unlimited, North Coast Regional Landcare Network, Border Ranges Richmond Valley Landcare Network, Wilsons River Landcare, Richmond Landcare Inc., Southern Cross University, Wardell Neighbourhood Centre, and Revive the Northern Rivers. 

Our Partners

Richmond Riverfest has received support from the Australian Government through the Emergency Response Fund, administered by NSW Reconstruction Authority’s Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program 2022-23. Delivered by North Coast Regional Landcare Network through the Caring for Catchments project.

The 2025 Richmond RiverFest has received funding and support from Ballina Shire Council, Lismore City Council and Ballina RSL Club.

The lands and waterways of the Richmond Catchment and beyond, are the unceded territories of the peoples of the Bundjalung and Githabul Nations. We pay our respects to their Ancestors, who cared for Country since time began, and to all communities of the Bundjalung and Githabul Nations, to all Traditional Custodians, who continue to speak and care for their Country and Water.
