ABOUT...

MOSAIC Adelaide Inc. aims to celebrate the South Australian multicultural community with an annual charity event, 'MOSAIC Festival 2026', bringing together hundreds of members of Adelaide's multicultural community: a colourful celebration of the rich multicultural element of South Australian identity, featuring stories, performances, food, language, customs, games, dance, and music.

The MOSAIC Festival is a grassroots annual event:

By the community.
For the community.
With the community.

This festival will also be doubling as a fundraiser supporting MOSAIC Adelaide's community development projects and our Community Grants Fund.

This is us.

This is who we are as South Australians - We all make up the rich fabric of South Australian identity, community and society - and this is something worth celebrating as we create a space for authentic connection, inclusion and belonging.

All are welcome to participate in the event as we create a vibrant and inclusive space for connections to thrive, for people to learn, and for stories to be shared.
