Laura Aboriginal Dance Festival
At Laura's Aboriginal Dance Festival, the communities of Cape York Peninsula perform for crowds on the sacred Ang-Gnarra Festival Grounds, surrounded by ancient rock art. The dances are impressive spectacles, with groups uniformly chanting, clapping and kicking up clouds of dust.
With upwards of 25 dance groups and over 3000 spectators, the Laura Festival keeps traditions many thousands of years old alive. Visitors can also gain insight into the Aboriginal culture at the festival's less-traditional events, such as the art exhibition and short film screenings.
