One of the world’s largest of its kind, Adelaide Cabaret Festival was named the state’s Best Major Event/Festival at the SA Tourism Awards.
Attracting around 60,000 punters annually and now in its 17th year, the 16-day event is acclaimed around the world for groundbreaking premieres and an eclectic line-up and activates Adelaide Riverbank each June.
“We have big plans for its future and look forward to announcing the 2017 Festival program next year,” Adelaide Festival Centre CEO and Artistic Director Douglas Gautier said.
“Our programming teams are currently working hard alongside Artistic Directors Ali McGregor and Eddie Perfect to create a festival that will again wow audiences, conjuring up a magnificent mix of world premieres, creative collaborations, and sparkling new works from Australia and all over the globe.”
This year’s program saw more than 150 performances generated over $12.5 million in publicity.
