Location
This year, Archaic Gathering unfolds near the vibrant town of Proserpine. Our new venue is a lush gem, nestled between majestic mountains, where nature’s energy flows freely and abundantly. The land breathes life into the festival, offering a rich, grounding atmosphere that perfectly complements our celebration of the Arts. We are thrilled to create Archaic Gathering in such a breathtaking setting, where every step connects you deeper to the earth and the creative spirit.
Discover the Whitsundays
Located just 40 minutes from Airlie Beach and 25 minutes from Proserpine Airport, our venue is perfectly positioned for those looking to immerse themselves in the magic of the Whitsundays. Known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant reefs, the Whitsunday region offers endless adventures beyond the festival. Whether you’re sailing through turquoise seas, exploring lush rainforests, or simply soaking up the sun, Archaic Gathering is your gateway to experiencing the Whitsundays to the fullest.
Best of all, Archaic Gathering takes place during the winter season, when the Whitsundays boast perfect weather, warm days, cool nights, clear skies, and generally glass flat seas. It’s the ideal escape from the cold, offering a tropical paradise to relax, explore, and celebrate under the sun.
Come for the festival, stay for the magic of the region. With warm, dry days and cool, starry nights, the tropical winter is ideal for dancing, creating, and connecting under the open sky. Whether you’re craving nature, culture, or simply a vibrant gathering of kindred spirits, this is the place to be.
Archaic Gathering isn’t just an event – it’s an invitation to explore, to celebrate, and to be immersed in the spirit of the land.
