The Dry season in the Territory brings about many opportunities for fun, entertainment, and community engagement. As the winter months roll in, we wanted to bring you a round-up of our favourite exciting upcoming events in and around Zuccoli. From art workshops to street parties, puppet shows to festivals, there is a diverse range of activities to keep everyone entertained. 

July: Celebrating Culture

July 1 – NT Day: As July arrives, Zuccoli and its surrounds are buzzing with a variety of exciting events that celebrate identity, youth, and the arts. July 1 marks NT Day, a special day that recognises the Northern Territory’s declaration of independence from the Commonwealth in 1978. Join the celebrations happening across the state, including the City of Palmerston’s grand fireworks display, which will light up the night sky and provide a fitting end to the day of festivities.

July 8 – July 14 – Palmerston Youth Festival: This week-long event offers an incredible array of free activities catered to the interests of our kids and teens. From arts and sports to live music and geek culture, the festival promises something for everyone. The highlight of the week is an electrifying live music concert featuring both local and interstate talent. Be sure to mark your calendars and immerse yourself in a week of youthful energy and excitement.
