Northern Territory FAQ

What is Picnic Day?

A Territory-only holiday on the first Monday in August. The name is the whole brief.

Are there show-day holidays in the NT?

Yes - Darwin, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek and Borroloola each have a local show day. They only apply to their own region, so they are not in the statewide list.
