Desert Festival is Central Australia’s premier multi-arts celebration, bringing together bold, original works across music, theatre, dance, visual arts, immersive experiences, and storytelling. Held annually in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, this vibrant event showcases regional and interstate artists, fostering cultural exchange and creative expression in one of the country's most remote artistic hubs. With a strong focus on inclusion, First Nations storytelling, and emerging talent, Desert Festival continues to evolve as a dynamic platform for artistic voices while celebrating the rich cultural landscape of the Northern Territory.
