Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are rich and diverse with many festivals and events of all kinds featuring throughout each year right across Australia. Attending these is a fantastic way to gain a deeper appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures by being part of an authentic celebration.

From the spectacular Tiwi Football Grand Final to the Woodford Dreaming Festival featuring the best of contemporary Aboriginal music and dance, there’s plenty to choose from. So if you get the chance, we highly recommend planning your trip to coincide with one of these Festivals, Events and Performing Arts.
