Darwin Festival Season

Top End Comes Alive

Darwin’s dry season is a siren call for culture lovers, thrill seekers, and social butterflies. With the city bathed in golden light and balmy breezes, it’s time to dress up, slow down, and celebrate. From Supercars and Cup Day to harbourside cruises and world-class arts — there’s no place like Darwin this time of year.

Airnorth flies direct into Darwin from across northern Australia, so your front-row seat to the season’s biggest moments is only a short flight away.

Darwin Triple Crown Supercars

20-22 June 2025: The Top End’s most electrifying weekend returns. Feel the roar of Supercars as they dominate Hidden Valley Raceway in a high-octane celebration of speed, skill, and spectacle. This isn’t just for motorsport fans — it’s a full festival experience featuring concerts, VIP trackside hospitality, tropical cocktails, and sunshine-soaked fun. Whether you’re cheering from the stands or relaxing in the shade with a drink in hand, the Darwin Triple Crown is the ultimate blend of thrill and tropical escape.
Darwin Harbour Cruises

Picture this: The sun begins to set, painting the sky with a stunning array of colours as you cruise along the magnificent waters of Darwin Harbour. Then you indulge in a delicious Territory-style buffet dinner on our Charles Darwin Cruise, or if you prefer, we also offer a delightful Gaze and Graze Cruise with a gourmet grazing platter where you get to nibble on a variety of local produce. Like the sound of this? Use promocode AIRNORTH10 for a 10% discount and have an unforgettable evening on the water.

Darwin Festival

7-24 August 2025: Step into a world of art, culture, and connection beneath Darwin’s star-filled skies. The Darwin Festival blends cabaret, live music, theatre, dance, and dining in a celebration of creativity and community. Set across tropical open-air venues and the buzzing Festival Park, every night offers a new sensory delight. Make the Airnorth Moonlight Lounge your home base — a stylish spot to sip, mingle, and take in the magic. From pop-up food stalls to world-class performances, this is the Territory at its most inspired.

Darwin Cup Carnival

6 July-4 August 2025: The social calendar’s most glamorous event returns with five weeks of racing, fashion, and fabulous celebration. From vibrant Ladies’ Day events to trackside marquees brimming with Champagne and conversation, the Darwin Cup Carnival invites you to embrace the Territory’s bold, tropical style. Don your finest fascinator, place your bets, and soak up the warm winter sunshine in a city where racing is more than a sport — it’s a lifestyle.
