The tenth biennial Festival Fleurieu will keep the spirit and shape of past Festivals, in a dynamic and innovative program that celebrates the arts, culture, community and environment of the district. 

Running from 21-30 April, there will be focus on youth, the future thinkers and creators, as well as  memories of the past twenty years of the festival.

The heart of the Festival, the Artist Studio Trail, includes exhibitions across the Fleurieu, with galleries and artists’ studios in Aldinga, Mount Compass, Victor Harbor, Port Elliot and Goolwa.

Musical events range from Opera to Rock’n’roll, while there are plenty of opportunities to sample the gourmet delights and fresh local produce of the Fleurieu.

Free community events begin with Carnival Fleurieu and end with a Maker’s Market.

There are events and workshops highlighting the region’s beautiful natural environment, its thriving indigenous culture, and the community spirit of local people.

Community groups from Cape Jervis, Inman Valley, Second Valley and Myponga will provide entertainment in their community halls, thanks to funding from the District Council of Yankalilla and the Halls Project.

According to Festival Director Judith Adams, “Enthusiasm and a belief in the power of a community festival to restore and maintain community wellbeing, will drive the core of the 2023 Festival, as residents and organisations become sponsors or supporters with donations, event organisers or volunteers.”
