Darwin's Festivals
Cultural showcases, social soirees, food fiestas and other events beyond description in Darwin give visitors a true insight into the personality and character of Australia’s northern most capital city.
Darwin Festival is the city’s major cultural festival, held annually each year in August. This event celebrates the best in Aboriginal, national and international talent in music, theatre, comedy and dance performances and visual art displays.
The annual Glenti Festival celebrates the rich and long-lasting influence the local Greek community has on Darwin. Then there’s the annual Beer-Can Regatta on Mindil Beach, where locals compete ferociously for the honour of building the most sea-worthy vessel from aluminium cans.
Visitors with time to explore further afield can immerse themselves in Aboriginal culture at the Stone Country Festival, Garma Festival, Barunga Festival and the Tiwi Islands Football Grand Final and Art Sale.
