Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster

You must enable JavaScript to view this map.

The annual Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster is a two-week festival showcasing the East Kimberley region, culture and lifestyle at its very best.

Set amidst the magnificent backdrop of the Ord Valley, Lake Kununurra, surrounding gorges, National Parks and stunning reserves, this community-based event assaults the senses with its array of extraordinary and distinctive experiences.

Since its inception in 2001 the Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster has been showcasing all that makes this unique destination special. Commencing as a one night affair - a dinner in the outback for local businesses - the Muster has gradually grown to a two week festival featuring over 40 individual events including the award-winning Airnorth Kimberley Moon Experience.

The concert is the Kimberley’s most acclaimed entertainment spectacle, having won both the Western Australian and Kimberley Tourism Awards for Significant Festivals and Events in both 2003 and 2004.
