Description:
The Darwin Festival is recognised locally, nationally and internationally as the premier festival for the ‘Top End’ of Australia and the Asia Pacific Region, and for its quality, diversity and innovation in arts programming and presentation.
Our mission is to profile the Northern Territory as a cultural destination of choice through contributing to the artistic, cultural and economic development of the Top End, whilst offering opportunities to showcase and interpret the cultural and artistic diversity of the region.
The Darwin Festival began its illustrious career as the Bougainvillea Festival in 1978. In 1993, it became the Darwin Festival and since, has grown significantly in stature and profile every year, attracting an audience of 76,000 in 2009, with this figure expected to be surpassed in 2010.
