Alice Springs Desert Festival is a time when the town is awash with arts installations, dancing, music and celebration. From choirs singing in exotic outdoor locations to the bush bands bash, it's a joyous time for all - www.alicedesertfestival.com.au
Also, for a unique view of this special city, visit tour operators involved with the new Indigenous Tourism Hub. These tour operations are owned and operated by aboriginal people and offer the most unique cultural view of Alice Springs and surrounds. New companies are starting up in the near future and I would be happy to put you in contact with them.
