Adelaide Festival

Adelaide Festival is internationally recognised as Australia's pre-eminent arts festival. Alongside sister-festivals in Edinburgh and Avignon, our Festival is cited as one of the top festivals in the world, providing audiences with the chance to see the most original and acclaimed artists working in the world today. Our curated program includes Australia's largest free literary festival - Adelaide Writers' Week alongside a cross-section of theatre, opera, music, dance and visual art from artists of all backgrounds and cultures. Since 1960, Adelaide Festival has also stood at the helm of artistic innovation, commissioning and championing groundbreaking new works and presenting them alongside the greatest established companies and artists.
