About Garma Festival
Garma Festival is Australia’s largest Indigenous gathering, a 4-day celebration of Yolngu life and culture held in remote northeast Arnhem Land from 2 to 5 August.
Hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, Garma is a four-day celebration that brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to share in Yolngu culture through dance, song, art, and storytelling. The event is also an important meeting point for the clans and families of the region.
The Festival’s overriding cultural purpose 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.
