Desert Festival is back again this September, for a vibrant weekend celebrating place, community, and creativity.

Dive into desert stories through live music, dance, theatre, immersive experiences, light installations, workshops, and engaging panel events, and sink into the lush bush surrounds of Olive Pink Botanic Gardens.

Each night over our stacked weekend at Olive Pink encompasses you in a special theme, while the wider program challenges you to consider alternate realities, to engage in playful learning experiences, and altogether delve into the power and uniqueness of Central Australian arts and culture.

The line-up includes Emily Wurramara, Sleep D, Deadly Funny, Dallas Frasca, Coloured Stone, Joe Camilleri & The Black Sorrows, Ashleigh Musk & Ivan Trigo, Betty Sweetlove, Dan the Underdog and friends, Desert Divas, Elsie Lange, GUTS Brave Bodies, Jackfruit, Jon Rose, Kate Emery, Slumberkitty, V.N. Lucarelli + more Program dropping very soon!
