Jungle Love Festival

Jungle Love is a small, independent, not-for-profit camping festival held at Borumba Deer Park near Imbil in Queensland's Mary Valley, with a creek running alongside the site. Built out of Brisbane's DIY warehouse-party scene, it earned a loyal following for its grassroots, artist-first approach — the opposite end of the industry from the corporate touring festivals. It has been on hiatus since cancelling its 2023 edition, with organisers saying they'd lay low until better economic times rather than risk another loss.

The festival was started by Lincoln Savage and Raymond Williams, who met staging house and warehouse parties in Brisbane — the first edition, a roughly 600-person gathering at Lake Moogerah, came about partly because one of Williams' warehouse parties was shut down over noise complaints.

By its second year Jungle Love had settled at Borumba Deer Park in the Mary Valley near Imbil, which became its long-term home through the 2010s and into the 2020s, including a 2021 edition run between COVID disruptions.

In February 2023 the organisers cancelled that year's festival, saying that as a small independent not-for-profit their margins were paper thin and they couldn't afford the risk of operating at another loss, with supplier costs inflating and punters squeezed by the cost of living. Their words: "we've decided to lay low until better economic times."

They flagged no return in 2024 and a possible comeback later; as of mid-2025 the official line remained "we will return when the time is right", while smaller spin-off events like Participarty have carried the brand in the meantime.
