From its inception in 1971 to today, the Tarra Festival has been the embodiment of community spirit. The festival brings together the residents of this rural township and the surrounding district in a celebration of its history while showcasing all that Yarram has to offer.
The significance of the word “Tarra” originated from Charlie Tarra, an aboriginal who guided early explorers such as Count Paul Strzelecki, James McArthur and James Riley to this area and to what is now referred to as ‘Tarra Territory’.
