Feast Festival

The Feast Festival is a two-week celebration of LGBTQIA+ arts held each November in Adelaide, featuring theater performances, music concerts, art exhibitions, and cultural events across multiple venues throughout the city. The program uses various locations, from the central Adelaide Town Hall as a main hub to smaller spaces in neighborhoods around the metropolitan area.

Founded in 1997, the festival grew into South Australia's primary platform for LGBTQIA+ artists to share their work with broad audiences. Its expansion over the years reflects the region's growing confidence in supporting diverse artistic expression and community visibility.

The festival provides a platform where LGBTQIA+ artists present their work to diverse audiences across the city. Visitors encounter performers, musicians, and visual artists working in many different styles and traditions.

The festival spreads across the city with the Town Hall serving as a central meeting point and many free activities available alongside ticketed events. Visitors should check the program in advance since performances happen simultaneously at different locations around the city.

A standout event is the Queerlympics held during Picnic in the Park, blending athletic competitions with drag performances and including an unusual dog show category. This mix of games and performance art draws visitors with widely different interests to participate together.
