The only Indigenous light festival of its kind, Parrtjima is a free ten-day festival that spreads across Alice Springs once a year.
Celebrating the oldest continuous culture on earth using the newest technologies, this innovative festival illuminates the desert with larger than life sculptures, mesmerising light shows and an action-packed program of performances, music, films and talks.
This year's festival will take place from April 8–17. Under the star-strewn Red Centre sky, the festival will explore the theme of 'Sky Country' focusing on everyone's place in the universe, with an emphasis on the elements of sky, air and wind.
Whether you're after immersive light walks, art-making workshops or catching live musical and spoken word performances, there's something for everyone at this magical cultural event.
