In the heart of the Kimberley, where the rugged outback meets serene waters, the Boab Metals Ord Valley Muster is set to redefine entertainment and cultural immersion from May 17 to 25, 2024. This iconic festival, nestled in the picturesque town of Kununurra, Western Australia, invites adventurers and laughter seekers to a world where comedy, art, and cuisine blend seamlessly against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty.

This year, the Muster rolls out the red carpet for a comedic lineup destined to leave attendees in stitches, featuring the charismatic Irish comic Jimeoin, acclaimed for his masterful observational humour. Jimeoin’s ability to transform the mundane into moments of sheer hilarity has earned him international acclaim, with the Daily Mail hailing his performances as “comic masterpieces.” Alongside him, the stage will welcome Daniel Connell, Ting Lim, and Sian Choyce, each bringing their unique blend of wit and laughter to the Mortgage Choice Kimberley Comedy in the Park on May 22nd.

But laughter is just one facet of this multifaceted festival. In a groundbreaking move, the Muster introduces an enhanced Art, Culture, and Cuisine experience spearheaded by Blak Tapas in collaboration with Waringarri Aboriginal Arts. This event promises a sensory journey through the Indigenous heritage of the region. From the oldest art centre in Western Australia, participants will be ushered into a world of traditional welcomes, didgeridoo performances under the Kimberley sunset, and the chance to savour bush tucker prepared by local culinary artisans. This immersive experience offers a rare insight into the Miriwoong people’s rich cultural tapestry and their deep connection to the land.

The festival’s commitment to celebrating Kimberley’s indigenous heritage and natural wonders is echoed by Sophie Cooke, chair of Ord Valley Events. “We are ecstatic to host Jimeoin this year, ensuring Comedy in the Park reaches new heights of popularity. Our curated comedy lineup and the special Art, Culture, and Cuisines event by Blak Tapas are designed to offer a unique insight into Indigenous culture,” Cooke expressed enthusiastically.

As the Kimberley’s premier showcase event, the Boab Metals Ord Valley Muster transcends the traditional festival format. It’s a celebration of community, culture, and the unspoiled beauty of the East Kimberley region. From comedy shows that promise endless laughter to cultural events that offer a deep dive into the region’s heart, the festival is a beacon for those seeking to enrich their lives with unforgettable experiences.

The Nexus Airlines Kimberley Moon Experience adds to the allure, featuring rock legends The Screaming Jets and a lineup of award-winning artists. This musical extravaganza, alongside a curated program of events, including concerts, luncheons, and family-friendly festivities, ensures that the Muster is a must-attend event for locals and travellers alike.

Tickets to the Boab Metals Ord Valley Muster, including the 18+ Comedy in the Park, are available now, inviting everyone to book their dream holiday to Kununurra. With the WA Government’s proud support through Tourism WA’s Regional Events Program, this year’s Muster is poised to be a landmark event, showcasing the best of Kimberley’s vibrant culture, art, and entertainment.

Ultimately, the Boab Metals Ord Valley Muster is more than just an event; it’s a journey into the heart of Kimberley, offering a blend of laughter, learning, and the legacy of one of Australia’s most enchanting regions.
