welcome to the merrepen arts festival
Come to friendly Nauiyu, on the mighty Daly River to celebrate the Merrepen Festival
June 4 – 6, 2010.
On Sunday June 6 enjoy the excitement of the Chooky Dancers who took the internet world by storm with their interpretation of Zorba the Greek. Fresh from playing their new show Ngurru-milmarramiriw to packed houses at the Adelaide Festival of Arts, the Chookys bring their unique fusion of two forms, traditional Indigenous dance and contemporay dance to the Merrepen Festival for the first time.
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. 
Saturday night will see a battle of the bands competition.
