Stories shape us, they are the voices of past, present, and future, they ignite the imagination of our children, and the memories of our community. At the Maali Storywalk Festival, we honour these stories by creating a day to celebrate where Maali tradition meets imagination. Guided and shaped by the diverse voices of Maali, it’s elders, and the wider community, MSF celebrates connection through storytelling, song, and creativity, and invites Placemaking, people building, and community learning, where everyone, young and old, can listen, share, and feel part of something larger than themselves.

MSF’s day of stories, songs, and shared creativity takes place on Noongar Country. Through spoken word, live music, weaving, art, and play, our festival evokes community celebration for Maali and Noongar Learning. From quiet circles of reflection to lively performances on the lawn, every moment is designed to surprise, delight, and connect us, through the shared art of Story.
