About the experience

The Karijini Experience began in 2013 as a small dinner Experience, aiming to bring life to the stunning National Park. Initially attended by just 75 people, it has since grown into a major annual arts and cultural event, with a strong focus on celebrating local Aboriginal culture.

By 2019, the Karijini Experience welcomed over 2,000 visitors, showcased 98 artists, and represented 16 Aboriginal language groups, supported by 32 partners and sponsors.

What sets the Karijini Experience apart is its breathtaking setting and deep connection to place, alongside a commitment to authentic Aboriginal cultural content. The growth from 75 to over 3,000 visitors is a testament to its success and the dedication of its volunteer community.
