Garrmalang Festival

Garrmalang Festival promises a vibrant celebration of First Nations storytelling, culture and connection, bringing together music, performance, art and immersive experiences across two unforgettable days in Darwin.

Across the Festival, AANT Centre transforms into a welcoming place of gathering where you are invited to explore visual art, enjoy live music, relax and yarn with old friends and new friends.

On Friday night, join us for a special Welcome to Country, experience the opening of our art exhibitions, and gather on The Balcony from 7.45pm for MAYIMA, a special menu of bush food-inspired bites created by Fire and Forage, celebrating native ingredients. It’s the perfect way to round up an evening of culture, conversation and celebration.

On Saturday, from 10am-2pm, soak up the Festival atmosphere across the venue with coffee and refreshments around a long communal table outdoors, live music, the Marketplace and other activities, before the nighttime celebrations begin.

Then, arrive early from 5pm to enjoy Our Songs at 6pm before our headline concert event Christine Anu & ZIPPORAH at 7pm. The night continues with Together We Are Beautiful featuring The Huxleys and special guests – a joyful love letter to the simple but radical act of getting together and having a really, really good time.
