Tonight we welcome the moonrise and the opening of the Red Dirt Poety Festival. Join us a the Earth Sanctuary for an eclectic night of storytelling through poetry and astronomy under the stars by a roaring fire. Poets from all over the country have converged here in Mparntwe on Arrernte Country to share their work, be inspired and breathe poetry into the night sky. There will be a shuttle bus leaving from the Convention Centre at 6pm, a bar and food available at the Earth Sanctuary. Doors from 6pm and the show starts at 7pm.

This event is in partnership with CDU and Inspired NT.
