The City of Adelaide will be showered with the glitter of queer art and culture.

There are only 6 days left until Feast festival bursts open with the best of international and local queer art and culture.

A plethora of special events is lined up this year—including Feast Favourites; Opening Night Street Party and Picnic in the Park. There will be dancing, singing and Adelaide’s best party vibes. If you thought the spectacular ended there—you’d be wrong.

Conchita Wurst’s arrival is now imminent and she will be performing in the nearly sold-out Art of Drag: A Night with Conchita, a showcase of local and national drag talent, a Guinness World Record attempt for Largest Drag Queen Stage Show and the star herself serenading the crowd with her melodic voice. Add to that Conchita’s intimate discussion and book signing of her biography Being Conchita—Adeladeians and Eurovision fans will be spoilt for choice.

But wait, there’s more! Feast wouldn’t be the same without a free, family fun day event. Behold Queer Station, a Sunday sesh that caters to every family member and to top off the Feast Festival special event goodness—we are bringing back the infamous—Dolphin Disco Cruise!
