Feast Festival: From 1–23 November, Adelaide will come alive with 23 days of queer art and culture, and this year, over 1,500 artists, producers, volunteers, and community members will bring this year’s Feast to life.
Feast is a platform for exploration, with half of this year’s program featuring creative developments, works made especially for Feast, orSouth Australian premieres. These artists are taking bold risks to tell new stories and now it’s our turn to honour them by showing up,engaging, and celebrating their work.
“As you explore this year’s program, take your time. You’re holding the courage and vulnerability of people ready to connect with you, to laugh, reflect, and be entertained.” – Penny McAuley, Feast Festival Chair
Our 2025 theme is LIBERATION, marking 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in South Australia.
This year we’ve seen a 42% increase in events and we want you to celebrate with us! From cabaret, drag, and live music to parties, comedy, literature, workshops, and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy — plus plenty of free events to explore!
FRONT COVER ARTWORK UNVEILED
“Being selected as the Feast Festival front cover artist is both an honour and a deeply personal moment. This artwork is a layered act of resistance and visibility. It asks: What happens when we reclaim not just material things, but our stories?” – Oscar Arrais
