Visitors enjoying a light show on day three of Parrtjima 2021.
One of the festival highlights is the lighting of the MacDonnell Ranges, a soaring natural landmark that serves as the backdrop for the festival’s light shows.
Also a highlight is the range of First Nations cultural performances, talks, and workshops that offer visitors the chance to learn about Indigenous culture and traditions. Visitors can enjoy traditional dance and music performances, attend talks by local artists and cultural leaders, and join workshops to learn traditional crafts.
Parrtjima is an important event for the local First Nations Arrernte community, providing a platform for the people to share their culture and stories with a wider audience. The festival provides economic benefits for the region, with visitors from around Australia and the world travelling to Alice Springs to experience the magic of the festival.
