OzAsia Festival

The OzAsia Festival is Australia’s leading contemporary arts festival engaging with Asia. It presents a bold and exciting line-up of boundary-pushing contemporary arts each year and is revered by audiences and critics alike.

The festival showcases the best theatre, dance, music, visual arts, literature, food, and cultural events from across Asia. Its extensive program has included artists from around the world, including countries such as Japan, Korea, China, Cambodia, Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Singapore, Syria, the United States, Israel, Thailand, the United Kingdom, The Philippines, and Australia.

Family audiences love the Moon Lantern Trail, a free, colorful, four-day outdoor event, while food enthusiasts adore the Lucky Dumpling Market – the vibrant and ever-popular hub offering delicious food inspired by Asian cuisine, bars, and free entertainment throughout the festival. The festival’s writing and ideas program, In Other Words, also showcases conversations about Australia’s engagement with Asia in the largest dedicated showcase for Asian and Asian Australian writers and thinkers.

There is something for everyone at the OzAsia Festival, and attendees are invited to join the festival this year!

The OzAsia Festival is produced on Kaurna land at the Adelaide Festival Centre. The organizers respect the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide Plains and honor their cultural and spiritual relationship with their country in the spirit of reconciliation.
