As the dust settles on Desert Festival 2026, we would like to thank our financial sponsors, whose generous support made it all possible.
Your backing enabled 10 days of performances, stories, and community connection right here in Mparntwe/Alice Springs.
Huge thanks to our major supporters, funding partners, and local sponsors for believing in the power of Central Australian multi-arts. Your investment goes directly into the pockets of artists, arts workers, and local businesses — supporting youth programs, First Nations storytelling, and a thriving creative economy in the heart of the desert.
👏 Thank you for supporting the arts.
