Nature Festival 2024

Returning for our 5th year, over 400 nature-inspired events are blooming all across South Australia this Spring School Holidays. We have art, adventure, music, food, wine, wellbeing, and Aboriginal culture, and plenty of free and family-friendly events.

This year the festival explores the theme of Awe, with an emphasis on moments small and large that captivate us, pulling us out of the rush of daily life and away from our screens into a wider relationship with nature and the world all around.

In a time of climate change, bushfires, and global pandemics, now more than ever we need to cultivate a deeper relationship with nature as a society.

That relationship is fundamental to our personal wellbeing, core to who we are as a state, and the foundation of all of the other work that we undertake to protect and steward nature.

Plus, being in nature feels good. We know it intuitively, Aboriginal culture values it explicitly, and modern science has more recently begun to quantify the wellbeing benefits of nature.

We think that’s worth celebrating.
