🗓 Taste of Kakadu | Saturday 23 May, 2026

On Saturday 23 May, Kakadu comes alive with one of the most unique festival experiences in Australia, the annual Karrimanjbekkan An-me Kakadu (Taste of Kakadu) Festival.

It's a day to slow down, eat well, and really connect with Country. Learn to weave and paint alongside Bininj artists. Try damper and fire-cooked fish. Discover the incredible flavour of Kakadu plum with a bush food workshop. Take a Bush Tucker Cruise on Yellow Water Billabong. Then end the evening with live music from Shellie Morris AO and Ego Lemos - two artists who tell stories of Country like no one else.

So much of the day's program is completely free with some workshops requiring you to register in advance).
If you're thinking about coming, don't wait on accommodation - it goes quickly for this one.

Reel by @_wherestheway [IG]

The first day of April marks the beginning of Bangkerreng season at Kakadu National Park. Bangkerreng season is also known as ‘Knock ‘em down’ storm season.

Nakurl (knock 'em down storms) coming from koyek (the east) flattens Manbedje yirridjdja (the early spear grass). Manbedje duwa (the later spear grass) is now green and growing until barra (the later rains). The vast expanses of floodwater recedes and streams start to run clear. Most plants are fruiting and animals are caring for their young.

This is a beautiful time to visit Kakadu, with the clear air, and warm winds only interspersed with an occasional wind storm.
