The spectacular free public event is the first authentic Indigenous light festival of its kind and showcases the oldest continuous culture on earth through the newest technology, on a 300-million-year-old natural canvas. 

Illuminating 2.5 kilometres of the epic MacDonnell Ranges and spilling into Alice Springs Desert Park, Parrtjima provides a breathtaking outdoor gallery experience presenting local artwork, culture and stories, with interactive installations the whole family can enjoy.

This year's festival will feature a new and expanded program to impress visitors from across the Territory, Australia and the world. 

Pronounced 'par-chee-ma', Parrtjima means 'lighting up' and conveys two meanings: The physical 'lighting up' of an object, and also in the context of 'lighting up' with meaning or understanding, to shed light on a subject. 'Parrt' means 'no idea' or 'no understanding', while 'Parrtjima' is the imparting of meaning and understanding

Event information, including the full festival program, will be released in the coming months.
