What a fantastic way to kick off Illuminate Adelaide.
On 30 June 2026, Committee for Adelaide and Festival City Adelaide members enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes preview of this year’s festival, hearing directly from Illuminate Adelaide Co-Founders and Creative Directors Rachael Azzopardi and Lee Cumberlidge, alongside internationally renowned digital artist behind Digital Abyss, Miguel Chevalier.
It was a unique opportunity to hear about the creative vision behind one of Australia’s most innovative festivals, before experiencing a special preview of Digital Abyss ahead of the festival’s official opening.
As Adelaide continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the world’s great festival cities, events like Illuminate Adelaide showcase the power of creativity, collaboration and bold ideas in shaping our city’s identity, economy and global profile.
A big thank you to our event partners, Illuminate Adelaide and Festival City Adelaide, for providing our members with this exclusive sneak peek and for sharing the stories behind this remarkable festival.
Illuminate Adelaide officially begins today, and if you’re looking for something to do over the coming weeks, there’s something for everyone. From spectacular free installations and immersive light experiences to world-class music, art and technology, it’s a wonderful opportunity to experience our city at its creative best.
We’ll see you out there. ✨
