Naa marni everyone,
We are delighted to announce the launch of the 2024 Nature Festival program, running 28 Sept - 13 Oct.
For year 5 our theme is ‘Awe,’ and we invite you to rediscover the small and large moments that captivate—pulling us out of the rush of daily life, away from our screens and into contact with nature and the world all around.
With more than 400 events, encounters, and experiences across South Australiawe have plenty of options for everyone.
Altogether, we hope you find a closer connection to our vibrant community, a renewed sense of wonder in the beauty of nature, and leave with your hearts full of awe.
