About Darwin Festival

Darwin Festival is an arts and cultural Festival that takes place every August for 18 days in the beautiful tropical city of Darwin.

The Festival offers a unique experience to audiences with many outdoor events thanks to Darwin's balmy dry season.

Darwin Festival is recognised locally, nationally and internationally as the premier festival for the Top End of Australia and the Asia Pacific Region, and for its quality, diversity and innovation in arts programming and presentation.

Our mission is to profile the Northern Territory as a cultural destination of choice through contributing to the artistic, cultural and economic development of the Top End, while offering opportunities to showcase and interpret the cultural and artistic diversity of the region.

From our listing of the 2013 edition. Details may have changed since.
