About Us

At Feast Festival, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. Our stages, galleries, and spaces are homes for your voice to be heard, celebrated, and uplifted.

Queer stories are powerful. They shape identity, bridge differences, encourage empathy, and connect us across generations. They remind us that we are not alone, that our experiences are valid, and that our voices matter.

In the video above, Feast’s 2024 artists share their insights on why queer stories are so important—how they inspire change, create visibility, and bring our community together in a shared celebration of resilience and joy.

This is where queer stories live and thrive. This is where you belong. Welcome home.

Adelaide’s Feast Festival is an arts and cultural event that brings together a variety of LGBTQIA+ performers, artists, communities, and audiences. The festival brings together local, interstate, and worldwide artists to create a unique experience. With a history that dates back to 1997, Feast has been and continues to be South Australia’s welcoming and safe environment for the community to express themselves.

Feast operates as an open-access platform during the month of November 1st – 23rd, popularly known as ‘Pridevember’ to South Australians.

Over 600 LGBTQIA+ people  presented 82 Events in 2024 across multi-disciplinary art forms including Burlesque, Drag, Visual Art, Spoken Word, Comedy, Film, Music and Dance. Much more than just the arts, Feast is a cultural festival and brings together community with event offerings such as the Queer Book Club, Craft workshops, Yin Yoga, Book Launches, Quiz nights, Drag Bingo, Roller Derby Bouts, Fashion Parades, Dungeons and Dragons and more!

Our mission is to amplify LGBTQIA+ creative expression while championing diversity, inclusion, and equality. We strive to empower voices that are often underrepresented in the creative landscape.

“Feast is storytelling at its finest. Stories that make you cry and make you laugh. Coming out stories. Stories of pain and despair. Stories of queer joy. Stories that make you feel seen and heard. Stories that can make you feel visible and make you want to stay. Stories that affirm your existence and help you discover who you are”
– Tish Naughton, CEO Feast Festival

Feast Festival is more than just a platform for queer artists. We showcase the strengths and resilience of LGBTQIA+ people and communities.
