Wide Open Space 2023
Event description
Wide Open Space, the incredible Central Australian Festival will be back on Eastern Arrernte Country.
After a year off, the WOS team invites you to head to the red centre, to the incredible East MacDonnell Ranges, for a feast of music, arts and performance.
Deeply inspired by desert culture (both traditional and contemporary) and the ancient landscape, WOS is a celebration of creativity, connection and the irrepressible human spirit!
3 stages, multiple performance and play spaces, kids space, cranking garden party, licensed bar, an ancient landscape and camping under a billion stars. What are you waiting for? Head to the beating heart of Australia for the best weekend of the year.
