The 2016 Deni Ute Muster
September 30th – October 1st, 2016
Deniliquin Festival Site – Deniliquin, New South Wales, Australia

What started in March of 1999 as an idea generated by a small group of community minded people to put together a rural themed festival to bring visitors to Deniliquin, our beautiful vibrant town on the edge of the outback in a quiet visitation period.

Since that first year, the Festival has shifted across the road from the original venue to accommodate the growth of the event. Today, the event attracts almost 25,000 people to the town of all ages to celebrate all things Australian and the icon of Ute.

Country superstar, Keith Urban will headline the Deniliquin which is an event which generates money for the community groups. After each event, more than $100,000 is donated back to the community to sporting clubs, community groups and schools.

The Festival is a major supporter of Deniliquin’s businesses and more than $1 million is spent in businesses or employing contractors to put on the event each year.

On the Festival weekend between $9 and $13 million is spent in Deniliquin by patrons and the same amount spent in NSW to attend the event.
