Red Centre Nats 12 – Alice Springs

The 12th annual Red CentreNATS, presented by LMCT+, runs from Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 September 2026, bringing thousands together in Alice Springs for four days of cars, bikes and culture.

The program is stacked with highlights. Expect drag racing, burnouts, motorkhana and roll racing alongside dazzling show and shines. The legendary street parade fills the town centre with hundreds of machines, greeted by cheering crowds.

At the centre is the Lasseters Hub at the Lasseters Centre of Entertainment, alive with car and bike displays, live music, food and entertainment from morning until night. Thursday’s Fringe Festival and Night Markets set the scene with a Territory welcome that kicks the weekend into gear.
Held across Father’s Day weekend, Red CentreNATS blends fierce competition, stunning builds and community spirit. It is a festival unlike any other in the country.
