Picnic In The Park 2025

UPark at the Central Markets is the closest public car park. The City of Adelaide are a proud supporter and sponsor of Feast Festival. If you require a public car park for the day then we would love if you can show appreciation by parking at UPark.  Access2Arts created an Access Guide with lots of information on public transport, access points, parking and important details and you can plan your public transport trip and where to park here. 

Yes! Picnic in the Park is 100% pooch-friendly, however, all dogs must be on a leash at all times

We welcome all forms of transport, and encourage cyclists however, you will have to secure your scooter or bike outside of the park, so make sure to bring your own lock

Accessible parking is available on Sturt Street near the Southeast Entrance.

There will be a drop-off and pick-up zone out the front of the Sturt St entrance on. All ubers, taxis and mates can drop you off here. This is marked as the ‘pick up / drop off zone’ on the Picnic in the Park Map.

You’re welcome to bring chairs, picnic blankets, and baskets, however, due to insurance restrictions, we can no longer allow patrons to bring in their own structures which include gazebos. Any structure that requires assembly or affixing to the ground and that may obstruct other patrons’ views will not be permitted entry.

You can bring soft, collapsible, and compact shade structures.

Yes! You can bring in your own food and sealed non-alcoholic beverages.

However, we have food vendors conveniently situated on-site, catering to all food tastes and allergies. There are a diverse range of cuisines and multiple fully stocked bars including options with low or no alcohol content, as well as a variety of soft drinks.

You can bring in a sealed water bottle or an empty plastic water bottle to use at our refill station.
