It felt like just yesterday when we had that star-struck moment as Eurovision stunner Conchita Wurst graced the stage at the Feast Festival 2015. But, a year has rolled over and now they’re back and ready to put on an epic extravaganza of special events, comedy acts, cabaret shows and so, so, so much MORE!
With so many events to choose from, how could we ever decide? So, to make it easier, here are our top 5 events that are for sure to fill up your weekend (and some of those weeknights spent in front of the TV).
Opening Night Street Party – October 22nd
Kicking off with a bang, Feast will be taking over the Hyde Street strip, on October 22nd, as powerhouse Dannii Minogue opens the two week festivities. And accompanying the ‘petite queen of the club scene’ is superstar DJ Josh and AUSLAN performer and extraordinaire, Lorraine Butler. Superb pop up bars and food stalls will quench that thirst and satiate your hunger, keeping you dancing late into the night. Get your tickets here for only $10.
Lady Liberty – November 4th
After wowing Brits on her Edinburgh and London run, the internationally acclaimed cabaret siren, Amelia Ryan, is back and ready to bring us Lady Liberty for one night and ONE NIGHT ONLY! Get your tickets here for $30 to hear her powerhouse vocals and profilic parodies with party games that are sure to make you blush. Free up some time November 4th and get in quick before its too late!
Picnic in the Park / Picnic After Party – November 6th
Returning is the annual Picnic in the Park on November 6th to give the Feast Festival a big farewell. Against the picturesque setting of the River Torrens, browse the community stalls, devour the delicious food, get involved with family fun activities and relax to the songs from Fresh 92.7. And to keep the good vibes pumping pack up the picnic gear and head straight to the official Picnic After Party with the explosive duo Z-STAR DELTA‘s electrifying tunes and a special guest line-up of local Fresh 92.7 DJs. Get your Picnic in the Park tickets here for $10 and the Picnic After Party tickets here for $12.
The Sparrow Men – October 28th
For a show that is completely unique (There’s nothing like it in Australia) go see The Sparrow Men on October 28th. What to expect is totally unknown! The hour long show is entirely improvised. A suggestion from the audience will begin your one of a kind comedic experience. Get your ticket here for only $20. And if you find this duo amusing then be sure to check the Feast Festival program, they’ve got plenty of comedic acts to keep you hysterically laughing.
Gilligan’s Big Gay Island – November 18th (technically after Feast)
If there’s a time to get shipwrecked and stranded, its November 18th at the Gilligan’s Big Gay Island. Queen Street will be closed off for a FREE community street party. It will be a colourful celebration of gender diversity with Elizabeth Street traders and family friendly entertainment amusing us from 6pm-10pm. Come dressed up as a Gilligian’s Island character. Perhaps Gilligian himself, or the Skipper or Mary Ann. The more creative you get, the better chances you have at winning a prize!
