Family Fun at the Darwin Festival

For some family fun, Air Race is an action-packed adventure inspired by the amazing true story of the 1919 Air Race from London to Darwin. With incredible moving sets and live music, Air Race is theatre for young people, made all the more poignant by this year’s centenary anniversary of the race ending on Darwin shores. Air Race flies into the Darwin Entertainment Centre, Friday 16 and Saturday 17 August

Combining puppetry, Live action, animation and a beautiful original soundtrack, New Owner tells a heartbreakingly joyful story of profound friendship through the eyes of a lost dog. Full of magical moments and inventive stagecraft, this comic tale of loss, friendship and new beginnings is the perfect show for anyone who has ever loved a pet. New Owner comes to Brown’s Mart Theatre, Thursday 22 – Sunday 25 August.

Two family favourites return to Darwin Festival in 2019. If you go down to The Esplanade, you’re sure of a big surprise… On Sunday 11 August the much-loved City of Darwin Teddy Bears’ Picnic is back for a morning of free performances, activities and delicious food. Put those dancing shoes on Teddy because Team Fun will lead a kids’ takeover of The Victoria Spiegeltent for a Big Ted birthday bash disco party!

At emBARK!, youngsters get the run of Festival Park for three nights of artistic adventures. This annual mini festival for mini humans is jam-packed with roving performances, interactive activities and hands-on sessions of learning and play. Head to Festival Park, Tuesday 20 – Thursday 22 August to join in the fun!
