Welcome to the Home of the Derby Boab Festival

 - a Celebration of lifestyle of the West Kimberley.

Located in Derby, the Kimberley Western Australia, the Derby Boab Festival has been running as a Shire initiative since 1961 - now entering its 49th Year as Western Australia's longest running festival.

The aim of the festival is to promote and coordinate two weeks of events that showcase the talents and attractions of the West Kimberley. There are many events and many different groups involved, the committee thanks all those people who have helped stage the longest running town Festival in Western Australia.
