Darwin Festivals & EventsDarwin Street Art

Darwin and the Top End offers some great annual festivals and events to combine with your visit exploring a spectacular region.

If you are dreaming of palm trees and sunsets, then Darwin is the place when the rest of Australia is in the grip of winter. The Dry Season (May–October) is the Top End tropical winter, with balmy nights and glorious nights.

Events such as the Darwin Festival is a vibrant arts and cultural experience. For some, a sense of fun is to participate in the Beer Can Regatta. There is also the Darwin markets, the most renowned being the Mindil Market where you can try one of the fabulous food stalls before heading onto the beach for a spectacular sunset.
