Top End Gin Festival

Festivals and Celebrations

30 May 2026 Annual Event

The Northern Territory is in for a treat as the Top End Gin Festival returns to the iconic Darwin Ski Club, bringing a juniper-infused jungle of flavour, music and Territory sunsets to Bundilla Beach.

Born in 2020 and now firmly cemented as a dry season favourite, the festival has evolved into one of Darwin’s most anticipated annual events. A vibrant fusion of world-class distillers, craft cocktails, masterclasses, live entertainment and that unmistakable Top End energy.

Proudly presented by Charlie’s of Darwin in partnership with SRO Events and the Darwin Ski Club, the Top End Gin Festival brings together legendary local and interstate distillers, curious newcomers and seasoned gin aficionados for one big tropical celebration of all things spirits and music.

Sip your way through bold botanicals, discover new favourites, dance as the sun melts into the Arafura Sea, and toast to an unforgettable dry season afternoon and night under the Territory sky.

Whether you’re here for the gin, the beats, the sunset or all three – this is your invitation to raise a glass and be part of the magic.
