About

A festival that lights up not only the desert but the soul

Parrtjima is where ancient wisdom meets cutting-edge technology, creating a one-of-a-kind celebration of the world’s oldest continuous culture. Set against the awe-inspiring 300-million-year-old MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia, this annual festival transforms the desert into a glowing masterpiece of art, culture, and light.

What to Expect:

  • Breathtaking Light Installations: Watch the MacDonnell Ranges come alive with stunning projections and new artworks, blending tradition with modern innovation.
  • Cultural Celebration: Experience authentic Aboriginal stories and traditions brought to life through interactive workshops, performances, and films.
  • Live Music & Talks: Immerse yourself in a vibrant program of music, discussions, and films that celebrate the depth and diversity of Aboriginal culture.
  • Art Evolution: Discover how artists honor Country and culture while experimenting with new materials and styles.

Held on Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and guided by the Parrtjima Festival Reference Group, this free event invites families, explorers, and dreamers to connect with Country and culture in unforgettable ways.
