2021 Darwin Festival


Darwin is set to come alive with the Darwin Festival running from 5-22 August. 


The festival brings locals and visitors together with an eclectic mix of art, music and culture from right around the country.


Here are our top picks from this years program.


CABARET - Reuben Kaye

Reuben Kaye has been described as everything a cabaret should be. Expect an intoxicating mix of comedy, cabaret and obscenity as Reuben takes to the stage with his vivacious and high camp humour. 


His show
The Butch is Back will take you on an emotional journey of tears and laugher. Buckle in and maybe leave the kids at home for this one. 



COMEDY - Amy Hetherington

Darwin’s very own comedy phenomenon Amy Hetherington is gracing the festival with her brand new show Baby Shower


Heavily pregnant Amy delves into all things pregnancy in an hour of hilarious oversharing about the highs and lows of cooking a baby.


This show is for everyone - new parents, future parents and never-would-I-ever parents. 


CIRCUS - The Pulse

Adelaide born circus powerhouse, Gravity & Other Myths, brings together 30 acrobats and 30 choir members for a gravity-defying performance of colossal scale. The show pushes the boundaries of contemporary circus through unified displays of strength, agility and emotion.


"The skill, artistry and daring display is breathtaking"
- Limelight Magazine


MUSIC - NIMAs

The National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs) are Australia’s biggest celebration of Indigenous music. The awards recognise excellence, innovation and leadership among Indigenous musicians from all corners of the country at the iconic Darwin Amphitheatre. 


The line up this year features Baker Boy, Miiesha, Electric Fields, King Stingray, Dallas Woods and Kee’ahn, Alice Skye and more. Get an incredible insight into the future of Indigenous music past, present and emerging.


FASHION - Country to Couture  

The iconic Country to Couture celebrates Indigenous fashion and textiles in a powerful runway show hosted at the Darwin Convention Centre. The show highlights the contemporary avenues of cultural storytelling and showcases innovative collaborations between Indigneous artists and Australian labels.

When planning a trip to Australia's Northern Territory, one of the most important decisions is where to stay. You have traditional motels and hotels, or fully serviced apartments that feel like home. At Hudson Apartment Hotels, we give you the best of both worlds with spacious apartment-style accommodation and hotel amenities. Whether you stay at Hudson Parap or Hudson Berrimah, we are confident you will enjoy yourself and make the most of your time in Darwin. Let’s look through the key considerations when booking apartments for your stay.  Location of Apartments in Darwin The location of your Darwin apartment accommodation matters. How close do you want to be to the airport or the city centre? If you’re visiting family or friends in the area, you may want to be within a short drive or even walking distance of their place. Maybe you need to be somewhere for work or just want to be close to particular restaurants and attractions. Whatever your preferences, make sure you pay attention to the apartment location and proximity to local points of interest. Apartment Size & Layout Another consideration when booking Darwin accommodation is how spacious and functional the apartment layouts are. Hudson Parap and Hudson Berrimah both offer studio, one and two-bedroom apartments to suit solo travellers and groups. If you need a three-bedroom apartment, we also have those available at Hudson Parap. Our popular apartments in Darwin boast separate living, dining and sleeping areas for privacy and comfort. Accommodation Amenities It’s also worth looking into the apartment amenities and affordability so you can better understand how much value you are getting out of your accommodation. A swimming pool is a fabulous amenity in the NT given the year-round heat, while workstations and Wi-Fi are great for business travellers. Fully equipped kitchens and onsite laundry are other top amenities to look for before booking your stay. Book Darwin Accommodation at Hudson Apartment Hotels We hope you will check out Hudson Apartment Hotels and see for yourself why we are a trusted choice for accommodation. Book apartments in Darwin online ahead of your trip to the Northern Territory, and look forward to a memorable time in the Top End.
