Event Details

Desert Festival is set to return this September to celebrate the best of local arts and desert culture in Alice Springs/Mparntwe.

Over ten balmy days and nights, our vibrant desert community will gather for the twentieth year of Desert Festival and relish in all things music, theatre, film and art, created right here in our own backyard.

The festival will open in conjunction with the Alice Springs Town Council Night Markets on Thursday September 24 and conclude with celebrations for the twentieth anniversary on Sunday October 4.

Desert Festival, presented by Red Hot Arts Central Australia, will proudly deliver an all-Territory program in 2020 featuring a diverse range of local talent providing daily pop-up performances and a night-time program that will have a broad activation of venues and theatres across town.

In keeping with tradition, this year’s festival branding showcases the 2019 Advocate Art Award Desert Festival Prize winning piece ‘Phoenix Interrupted’ by Rick Lausberg.

Desert Festival has been made possible with the generous support of the Northern Territory Government and Alice Springs Town Council.

East Journey | RachelRachel | Danielle Andrews | Amy Hetherington

This event is running in conjunction with the Darwin International Film Festival who will present a film after the musical acts:

8pm – Looky Looky Here Comes Cooky – Theatrical Premiere: A fresh, funny and provocative look at the Cook legend from a First Nations’ perspective. Six diverse and distinctive commissions in Indigenous Language and English come together to create a new songline for 21st century Australia – one of spirituality, of cultural resistance and survival. The film features outstanding Indigenous music producer Daniel Rankine P.K.A. Trials (founding member of AB Original) as well as Indigenous singer/songwriters Mo’Ju, Alice Skye, Kev Carmody, Birdz, Fred Leone and Mau Power. The weaver of the story – outstanding poet and performer – Steven Oliver. His question – in the year 2020, does Australia have a blurred history of Cook?
