The Garma Festival is Australia’s largest Indigenous gathering, a 4-day celebration of Yolngu life and culture held in remote northeast Arnhem Land.
Hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, Garma showcases traditional miny’tji (art), manikay (song), bunggul (dance) and story-telling, and is an important meeting point for the clans and families of the region.
The Festival’s over-riding cultural mission is to provide a contemporary environment for the expression and presentation of traditional Yolngu knowledge systems and customs, and to share these practices in an authentic Yolngu setting.
Come and join us for 4 unforgettable days in the far north of Australia for what many people describe as a life-changing experience.
The 25th annual Garma will take place between Friday 1 August – Monday 4 August, 2025 at the Gulkula ceremonial site about 40km from Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsula, NT.
