Three Riverland festivals have secured very important State Government funding.
The Regional Event Fund aims to support existing and emerging events with organisers able to apply for up to three years of funding.
Riverland events to secure funding included October’s Riverland Rose and Garden Festival which again is looking to expand.
The Sounds in the Quarry music festival at Overland Corner in November also saw funding, while the Riverland Food and Wine Festival set for March 2027 also made the list.
Tourism Minister, Emily Bourke said Regional events are vital for local communities, encouraging visitors to explore SA by providing a platform to showcase what makes their part of the state so unique.
“The events supported by the Regional Event Fund highlight what makes South Australia a must-visit destination – good food and drinks, natural wonders, rich history, and artistic talent – all delivered with authentic hospitality” Said the Minister.
