Winter nights are for Illuminate Adelaide.

Running 02 - 20 July 2025

Held annually on Kaurna Country, Adelaide’s brightest celebration of art, light, music, and technology brings late nights, bright lights, and big adventures.

Throughout July the best and boldest luminaries from across the globe set loose across the city to create an invitation to experience something new. Something breathtaking. Something exciting.

Well-worn streets, hidden gems, and cultural icons are transformed into a city-wide spectacle of free and ticketed events daring the curious to shake off the winter blues and rekindle a sense of wonder.

Filled with artists, innovators, and the unexpected, Illuminate Adelaide is a beacon calling to all of us to stay up, head out, look forward, break ground, dance hard, and make memories.

Time to emerge from hibernation and explore a brave new world - where cold nights and bold ideas collide.
