About the Event
About
For centuries, Laura has been the central meeting place for Cape York’s Indigenous population and is home to some of the most well-preserved rock art in the world.
At the Laura Quinkan Dance Festival, you can immerse yourself in the culture of the region and discover why this is Queensland’s longest-running Indigenous event.
Every second year, Laura sets the stage for up to 1000 performers from 20 different Indigenous communities to showcase their culture over three epic days. It’s not just a magnificent display of dance and art, there are also workshops on offer for festival-goers to get a real hands-on experience.
Once you’re done dancing up a storm, check out some of the nearby Quinkan Rock Art galleries, touted by UNESCO as one of the top 10 rock art sites in the world.
