A food and Culture festival 65,000 years in the making with a sensational program set to immerse visitors in a stimulating journey of the senses.

Your first stop is the Bowali visitor centre, transformed into a Festival Hub packed with entertainment. Here you can explore a variety of arts and crafts stalls, snap a photo with a native Kakadu reptile, enjoy a refreshing drink or snack and unwind as TEABBA Radio broadcasts live to the Top End.

When you are ready, head off to explore more of Kakadu National Park. We have exclusive experiences created just for Taste of Kakadu – from guided walks featuring historic rock art and breathtaking Country to relaxing cruises through pristine wetlands.
