welcome to the merrepen arts festival
Come to friendly Nauiyu, on the mighty Daly River for a whole weekend of festival activities this 30-31 May.
On Saturday night May 30 there’s a magical and intimate concert with some of Australia’s finest musicians — B2M from the Tiwi Islands playing with Melbourne based dynamic musician Nicky Bomba and local band the ’Nauiyu Boys’ 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, and watch some great sporting competitions. 
Then as the sun sets, relax on your rug or favourite camp chair under the stars with a your picnic basket and enjoy the blissful sounds of B2M and Nicky Bomba.
