The shape of it

About

Darwin's dry-season arts festival spreads performance, music, comedy, cabaret, film and visual art across Festival Park and other city venues. The programme mixes free public spaces with separately ticketed shows.

Highlights

  • Dry-season evenings centred on Festival Park
  • A multi-arts programme across greater Darwin
  • Free public activity alongside bookable performances

Plan it well

  1. Build a schedule from individual show pages; the festival date range is not one continuous ticket.
  2. Festival Park is card-only for food and bars according to the organiser.
  3. Check accessibility and age conditions on each venue page.
