Katherine Country Music Muster
Enjoy country music, Katherine style. The Katherine Country Music Muster features three days of non-stop music and events such as a cavalcade street parade, busking competition, songwriters competition and on stage entertainment at the Outback Heritage Museum grounds. There are full bar and catering facilities and basic camping facilities are available.
Pine Creek Gold Rush
The quiet town of Pine Creek was brought to life when gold was discovered in Pine Creek in 1871 by construction workers on the Overland Telegraph Line. Visitors can soak up some of that old pioneering spirit from the treasure trove of heritage bush buildings and mining sites that surround the area.
Merrepen Arts Festival
The annual Merrepen Arts Festival is held in June on the beautiful banks of the Daly River at the friendly community of Nauiyu. The festival has something for everyone with art sales and auctions, traditional music and dance, bush tucker displays and tasting as well as a football and sporting carnival.
凱瑟琳地區每年都舉行各式各樣的活動。
所有節慶活動都很獨特，有些甚至有點怪誕，它們都深受當地人和遊客的喜愛。
許多活動都充分利用凱瑟琳地區豐富的河道，有幾個主要的年度釣魚比賽在較大的河舉辦，像戴利河；而凱瑟琳獨木舟馬拉松比賽則在蜿蜒的凱瑟琳河舉行，賽道大約有50公里，該比賽是為慈善籌款的。
凱瑟琳鄉村音樂節（The Katherine Country Music Muster)包括"葡"酒吧、“大早餐”("big brekky")和街頭競技。其它節慶像松樹溪淘金節是慶祝這個地區的金礦歷史的，而Merreper藝術節和Barrunga節則突出了該地區濃厚的土著文化氣息。
像凱瑟琳這樣的內陸旅遊地，如果沒有牛仔競技表演或campdrafting（一種騎在馬背上的競技比賽），那將是另一番景象了。這些活動定期舉辦，就如賽馬會和凱瑟琳農展會。
