Fortunately for South Australians, we’ll be able to have a taste before we commit to travel plans when PolArt launches in late December in Adelaide.
From 27 December 2025 to 5 January 2026, the city and Barossa will transform into a colourful celebration of Polish heritage with over 500 Polish dancers, artists, musicians, writers and performers making the journey from all over Australia and New Zealand to Adelaide.
This year marks PolArt’s 50th anniversary, a cultural milestone that promises to make this the most spectacular festival yet. Audiences will revel in the colour, flavour, and rhythm of Poland, from breathtaking folkloric dance concerts and live music to theatre, visual arts, literature, and an unmissable outdoor Polish Midsummer Festival.
“PolArt is an open invitation to be embraced by the Polish culture. We’re a passionate and welcoming troop, excited to share our stories through arts and movement,” said Bernie Brzezinski, President of PolArt Adelaide 2025.
PolArt is about bringing people together, fostering pride, and sharing traditions in fresh and inspiring ways.
It’s a festival that transforms the city into a cultural playground, inviting everyone to immerse themselves in the richness, colour, and diversity of Polish arts.
For those eager to immerse themselves in the wonders of Polish arts, the full program is now available, with tickets going on sale in mid-October. With limited performances, festival-goers are encouraged to secure their seats early.
