Industry

Throughout 2024, we will build our inaugural State of the Festival State Report.

Contribute to the report by submitting your views on the opportunities and untapped potential of the industry below.

This engagement is part of our comprehensive 2024 South Australian Festival and Event Industry Review, which will map the sector across the state and help to inform policy recommendations and advice.

The Festivals and Events industry has demonstrated serious resilience and resourcefulness over the past few years, navigating the challenges of COVID-19 as well as an ever-evolving consumer landscape.

What is next for the sector and how will it collectively approach opportunities for innovation and community building? What future are festivals supporting us in building, and what future for festivals do we wish to build?

The South Australian Festival and Event Industry Review is a comprehensive study into the industry’s state of health. One step beyond a census, the review will help us not only collect important datasets but also dig deeper into the pressure points that the industry is experiencing.

The Review will result in the State of the Festival State report, detailing what we’ve heard and the data we’ve collated. Together, we’ll then craft a vision for the next decades.
