Freedom Day Festival - Darwin

Freedom Day Festival is held on Gurindji Country in the town of Kalkaringi (often Kalkarindji). This proud Indigenous community, which includes Kalkaringi and Daguragu, is celebrated widely for its role in the legendary Wave Hill Walk-off.

Freedom Day Festival is a non-profit, community-organised and free-of-charge event. While we work hard to make sure all our visitors are cared and catered for, we strongly encourage people to come as equipped and self-sufficient as possible (please note: Telstra mobile service only). If you turn up unprepared for the dust and the heat, there’s a good chance you might not want to come back the following year. However, if you arrive with a positive spirit and adaptable mindset, you’ll quite possibly have the best few days of your life. This is a special festival in a special place. We can’t wait to see you here!
