Events and festival support

A MESSAGE FROM HITAF RASHEED, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EVENTS SOUTH AUSTRALIA

We are thrilled to see a range of events and festivals now being delivered successfully and in a COVIDSafe way throughout South Australia. What a huge effort from all South Australians and the industry.
The events and festivals industry provides amazing economic, cultural and community outcomes for the State – what you do is so important!

The team at the South Australian Tourism Commission, including all of us at Events South Australia, continue to think about all of you who either own, deliver, provide services to or support events and festivals in South Australia. We welcome any feedback on how we can provide support to the industry at large.

Please read on for some useful information for the events and festivals industry.

COVID-SAFE EVENTS

Events South Australia has received many questions from events and festivals organisers about holding COVID-safe events, and what is required by SA Health to do so. Please see below some useful resources for the South Australian events industry about COVID-19 and requirements including the COVID Management Plan, COVID Safe Plan, differing risk levels of events, how events are monitored, and much more.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S EVENTS CALENDAR

Events and festivals shape South Australian life. We believe a balanced South Australian calendar benefits everyone and we welcome the opportunity to discuss intended dates with those rescheduling postponed events and festivals for 2020-21. 

See South Australia's events calendar via our Managed Events page here.

If you have new event dates that you would like to be included in the calendar, please email us at esa@sa.gov.au, or get in touch with your usual Events South Australia contact.
