welcome to the merrepen arts festival

Come to friendly Nauiyu, on the mighty Daly River
for a whole weekend of festival activities this
31 May and 1 June.

On Saturday night there’s a magical and intimate concert with some of Australia’s finest musicians — Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu playing with Melbourne based string quartet the Ad Hoc String Collective at this very special open air concert performance. 
Visit the art centre in the afternoon before the concert, meet some of the artists, participate in the Fi Dillybag Weaving Workshops, taste local bush tucker and watch some great sporting competitions. 
Then as the sun sets, relax on your rug or favourite camp chair under the stars with a bush tucker picnic basket prepared for you by Steve Sunk, the NT’s own ’Walk About Chef’ and enjoy the blissful sounds of Gurrumul with strings.
