NAFA

02 Jul 2021 - 01 Aug 2021

Townsville’s premier Arts and Cultural Festival is back in 2021.

Townsville City Council will present the North Australian Festival of Arts (NAFA) from 2 July – 1 August 2021. The month-long celebration of artistic, cultural and lifestyle events featuring The Northern Fringe Festival, Ephemera, Pop-Up North Queensland (PUNQ), and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM) will return bigger and better than ever.

Council is committed to delivering this annual Arts and Cultural Festival which showcases Northern Australia’s melting pot of creativity. At the height of the global pandemic in 2020, Council was able to deliver a modified, COVID Safe version of the Festival to support the local arts community, help rebuild the tourism and events sector and improve economic recovery.

In 2021, Townsville will come alive again with cabaret, theatre, comedy, dance, exhibitions, concerts, and more.
