Forest Festival is a thoughtfully curated celebration of children, nature, Aboriginal culture, the changing seasons and community.

We’ll be joined by Kaurna/Narungga Elder, Kauwanu Tamaru, along with live acoustic performances. The ElectraNet stage will be the central entertainment hub, with crowd favourite, The Amazing Drumming Monkeys, again on the lineup.

Nature-based activities for all ages will be available throughout the day, including nature crown and mask-making, nature potions, loose parts play, wand-making, rock climbing, cubby building, Aboriginal message stone painting, storytime and reading, yoga, Evelyn Roth's Nylon Zoo, kite flying (bring your own or purchase on the day), and guided nature walks.

Exciting for 2025…

All ticket purchases automatically go in the draw to WIN a 2-night CABN stay for a family of 4 (plus one lucky pet)! Enjoy a late check-out, firewood (seasonal), and more—a prize worth over $1,000.

The prize winner will be notified post event *T&C's apply
