Experience the inaugural Milikapiti Festival – a vibrant celebration of Tiwi culture, community and connection on beautiful Melville Island - Yermalner.
This family-friendly cultural event invites visitors to engage in intergenerational learning and traditional Tiwi practices, guided by local Elders and younger generations. From traditional dance and music performances to bush food demonstrations and hands-on workshops, the festival offers an unforgettable opportunity to connect with Tiwi culture on Country.
The program begins on Saturday with a Traditional Welcome, followed by a day of cultural activities and sporting action for all ages. As the sun sets, enjoy special performances by the renowned Ngarukuruwala Tiwi Songwomen and the legendary Munupi Band, sharing new music created through recent recording projects. The evening continues with more performances and a fun-filled kids' disco under the stars.
