After the Top End Folk Club put on the BIGGEST EVER Top Half Folk Festival in 2025, the NT's largest folk event returns to Central Australia for 2026. 

​

The theme for this year's festival is Connected, Grounded. 

​

Grounded - as we look down to our feet, and the incredible country that we walk upon together. We will gather on Eastern Arrendte land at Ross River Resort known by the First Nations people as Inteye-Arrkwe. We pay our respect to the traditional custodians of this land, their elders past and present, and the current caretakers of the Ross River Resort.

Connected - as we build our community, sharing stories, culture and songs with locals, people from the wider Northern Territory and beyond. The act of connecting at a safe and inclusive festival will bring understanding and positive paths for the future.
