We can’t wait for the desert to come alive under the Red
Centre’s starry skies at Parrtjima, the only authentic Aboriginal
light festival of its kind. An all-ages art and cultural event,
this is where the ancient and modern converge in a beautiful
celebration of earth’s oldest continuous living culture.
Parrtjima – A Festival in Light is where timeless Indigenous
stories are told in creative new ways, using cutting-edge
technology. It’s where local artists meet with some of Australia’s
most well-known Indigenous identities on Arrernte Country in
Alice Springs (Mparntwe).
The theme for 2024 is ‘Interconnectedness’, highlighting the
importance of sharing and working together, and the connection
First Nations people have with each other, the land, our
waterways and sky country.
