Get ready to celebrate a major milestone as the Alice Springs Masters Games marks its 40th year in 2026

The much-loved mid-week street party will return in 2026, proudly supported by Alice Springs Town Council. Held on the Council Lawns from 5pm, the event offers a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere for participants, supporters and the local community to come together and celebrate the spirit of the Games.

Attendees can enjoy a lively program of entertainment, browse a range of market stalls and soak up the energy of one of the Games’ most popular social events. A highlight of the evening, the iconic Masters Mile, will once again be open to all ages and abilities, encouraging everyone to get involved. The event is proudly supported by the Alice Springs Running & Walking Club, helping to create an inclusive and welcoming experience for all.
