The Territory Government is continuing to invest in festivals and events across the Territory, recognising their importance to liveability, tourism, and local jobs.
Commencing to coincide with the start of the Easter in the Alice event, a special seven part series NT Out and About will air on Channel 9 and Imparja featuring the Territory’s unique events and foodie tourism highlights.
