Nature Festival of South Australia

About

From desert landscapes to city gardens, coastal wetlands to regional communities, Nature Festival 2026 will transform South Australia into a living celebration of possibility, renewal and connection.

Visit over 350 events across the state these school holidays from 25 September – 11 October 2026.

This years theme, Seed, invites Australians to consider the small beginnings that shape our future: the seeds we plant in gardens, in communities, in culture, in children, and in our collective relationship with nature.

Nature Festival is a collaborative movement of more than 200 community groups and organisations celebrating South Australia's unique love of nature.

The festival features hundreds of experiences spanning art, adventure, outdoors, music, food, wine, wellbeing, gardens and Aboriginal culture, with plenty of free and family-friendly events across the state.
