Northern Territory Major Events Company
Parrtjima – A Festival in Light begins in Alice Springs tonight, and promises to do exactly what this year’s theme suggests by ‘Lifting Our Spirits’.
The 10-day event, which runs from 11-20 September, showcases one of the world’s oldest cultures through some of the newest technologies, and this year’s light installations are as incredible as fans have come to expect from this world-class event.
With 2km of the MacDonnell Ranges illuminated, and several large-scale installations arranged in formation around Alice Springs Desert Park, Parrtjima provides an inspiring, enriching experience that leaves attendees enchanted.
This year again includes a program of events in Todd Mall, featuring music, talks and films. Some of the items on the program will be delivered in a slightly different format this year in line with Parrtjima’s COVID-19 Management Plan. For example, the Deep Listening talks with Tracey Holmes and Stan Grant will take place via a live cross from a studio in Sydney. Holmes and Grant are unable to travel to the Northern Territory due to border restrictions.
There is also a new registration process in place to manage numbers. Due to popular demand, at present the Todd Mall events have a waitlist. If you have registered for an event you can no longer attend, please cancel your booking so someone else can enjoy the magic of Parrtjima.
