Way out over the endless horizon is a special place….a place of wonder, a place infused with ancient stories and extraordinary characters, otherworldly sounds and rivers that run underground. A place where you’ll meet people that you’ve known forever. This place is WIDE OPEN SPACE.
WOS is a unique festival in Central Australia, being held from the 28th -30th April 2017. To understand what makes it so special, you need to come to experience it for yourself.
We look forward to seeing you!
