Broome truly comes alive during its dry season, offering a programme deeply connected to its stunning natural setting and rich pearling history. Imagine experiencing the famous Staircase to the Moon market, or enjoying outdoor cinema under the stars with an ocean breeze. In 2026, Broome has 12 events ready for backpackers to explore, often featuring Indigenous culture, local artists, and delicious food stalls.
The crowds here are a laid-back mix of locals and fellow travellers, all keen to soak up the relaxed pace and unique cultural offerings of the Kimberley. Staying in hostels keeps things budget-friendly and close to the action, making it easy to link up for sunset events or explore the many open-air markets and live music spots with new mates. Broome in 2026 is an adventure, culture and a crowd worth joining.
