The flag of Northern Territory.
In the Northern Territory, two significant festivals that celebrate Aboriginal culture are:
- Barunga Festival: Held outside Katherine, this event is a major celebration of Aboriginal culture.1
- Garma Festival: Located in northeastern Arnhem Land, this festival is also a key event dedicated to celebrating Aboriginal culture.1
These festivals are distinct from other regional events, such as the Darwin Festival or the Henley-on-Todd Regatta, which focus on broader community and recreational themes.1
