Alice Springs - Events

The camel races at the end of April and beginning of May are an important annual event. The Bangtail Muster in May, with a street parade and sports carnival, commemorates the herding together and counting of the cattle which took place in earlier days. The greatest event of the year, however, is the Henley on Todd Regatta at the beginning of October, in which the boats are either carried or trundled along the dry river bed and the day ends with a festival.
