The nominations are in, and our community has spoken!
We’re so excited to share that the nominees for the 2026 Legends of Nimbin Volunteer Awards have now been selected. These incredible individuals and groups represent the heart of our village — the quiet helpers, the big-hearted doers, and the ones who show up again and again for others.
The Legends of Nimbin Awards are not about competition, but about celebrating the many ways volunteers contribute to our community and recognising the spirit of generosity that makes Nimbin so special .
Join us as we honour these legends at the Volunteer Awards Night on 31 March — a beautiful evening dedicated to gratitude, storytelling, and community connection.
