WOMADelaide is a four-day festival of Music, Arts and Dance celebrating cultural and creative diversity and held since 1992 in Adelaide’s beautiful Botanic Park / Tainmuntilla. The festival has become a truly unique part of the Australian festival landscape, showcasing the best, the essential – and the surprising – in global music, dance, art and ideas.
WOMADelaide attracts around 18,000 – 20,000 people per day, (not including children 12 and under who are admitted free) with over a third of attendees generally coming from interstate and overseas.
Every year, around 500-600 artists from 30+ countries perform on 7 or 8 stages spread across a 34-hectare venue space in Adelaide’s magnificent Botanic Park, ranging from small, intimate stages nestled in the trees, to two major stages that can support large ensemble acts and cater to capacity audiences. The festival also programs large-scale installation works, lively discussion panels, workshops and many other unexpected performance areas, offering a kaleidoscope of experiences and avenues of cultural discovery. During WOMADelaide, Adelaide transforms into a truly global city unmatched anywhere else in Australia.
