Thank you to everyone who came out to the second season of Glenelg Winter Arts Festival, whether to see a show, enjoy some food and drink, or soak up the atmosphere and experiences on offer in the park.

We would love it if you could please take a few minutes to complete our post-season survey. We're keen to know a bit more about you and your experiences at Glenelg, so we can use that feedback to improve next season.

📢 OPENING POSTPONED TO 2.30PM TODAY; DOGS' DAY OUT CANCELLED 📢

While it was fortunate that the weather stayed manageable for our site yesterday and all Glenelg Winter Arts Festival shows last night were able to safely go ahead as scheduled, we need to delay our opening time today.

Unfortunately, weather conditions overnight intensified at Colley Reserve, with the worst of the weather coming through this area while we were closed. This has led to some damage to the Glenelg Winter Arts Festival event site.

Our site crew is working hard to clean up and reset the event site, and the festival gates will reopen at 2.30pm.

The following events have been cancelled:
🐶 Dogs’ Day Out, 12pm – 4pm (unticketed)
🧪 KABOOM!, 1pm

Ticketholders will be contacted by Fringetix about this, and fortunately will have the option to transfer to an alternative session of KABOOM! (4.30pm today, or 1pm or 4.30pm tomorrow), as two extra sessions have been added due to popular demand.

Glenelg Winter Arts Festival’s scheduled shows will recommence from 3pm today in The May Wirth and Kingfisher performance spaces, which have not sustained any damage.

We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing festivalgoers again from 2.30pm onwards in Colley Reserve.

Thank you so much for your support of this festival, and for your patience with these changes.

Next weekend: it's the Dogs' Day Out at Glenelg Winter Arts Festival!

Between 12pm and 4pm next Saturday 20 July, visit some dog-themed stallholders and service providers, get your face painted as your favourite pooch or have a caricature drawn of you and your pet (prices vary).

Join us at 1.30pm for the costume parade, with prizes for best dressed dog and best dog/owner partner costumes!

Well socialised and well behaved dogs are welcome, and are to be kept on a lead at all times. Please note that, with the exception of assistance animals, dogs are not permitted in Glenelg Winter Arts Festival’s performance spaces (The May Wirth and The Kingfisher tents). If you are planning to see a show at the festival, you’ll need to find a poochsitter. 😊 (Dogs on a lead are permitted in the open spaces of Glenelg Winter Arts Festival's site on every other day of the festival too - but the dog-themed activities are happening only next Saturday.)
