With 60% more venues than last year and a 42% increase in programming, Adelaide’s premier LGBTQIA+ Arts and Cultural Festival will feature 117 events across 67 venues as Feast Festival celebrates 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in South Australia.
Free City Trams and City Connector Buses
Festival-goers took full advantage of the free tram zones and City Connector buses, which provided a hop-on and hop-off service to popular city attractions, shopping, dining, and key destinations.
City Buses
Bus routes 99A and 99C connected the inner city and were available Monday to Friday; 98A and 98C connected North Adelaide with the city, running every day. Services operated every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends.
City Trams
The free zone covered the area between South Terrace, Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Festival Plaza, and the Botanic Gardens stops. If travelers headed beyond South Terrace towards Glenelg, a fare was required.
After Midnight Buses (Saturday)
Festival-goers also made use of the After Midnight Buses on Saturday nights (for the cost of a fare). These buses ran from midnight to 6:00 am on Sunday mornings, with routes travelling east and hills, west, north, and south. In addition to regular bus stops, drivers were able to drop passengers off at well-lit locations like service stations or fast-food outlets. The Adelaide Metro journey planner helped guests find their routes by selecting a time between midnight Saturday and 6:00 am Sunday to display after midnight bus times.

Adelaide Metro was also on-site at Picnic in the Park, providing further support for attendees.
