The Feast Festival committee are celebrating the anonymous delivery of “Ellen”, the lost Feast mascot, that was famously stolen during the festival’s opening ceremony (The Flamingo was chosen to represent the LGBTQIA+ community, as a species that favours same sex partnerships for life).
The feast team heard on good authority that “Ellen” was seen partying away on the dancefloor and sipping cocktails at My Lover Cindi on Flinders Street. After fluffing her feathers on the dancefloor, Ellen will now be greeting guests arriving for PICNIC IN THE PARK this Sunday 27th November at 11am at the new location of Rundle Park, marking the end of South Australia’s biggest LGBTIQ festival.
There is still time to make your picnic and dust off your picnic rug and brush your pooch ready for this weekends’ Picnic in the Park event. There is so much to see and do, with plenty for children and families to enjoy. Dog lovers will enjoy the Feast Dog Show, as well as a ‘Doggie kissing booth’ for dogs for that perfect Instagram-worthy photo; there is even an opportunity to adopt puppies, look for the “Scruffer Lovers Dog Adoptions” stall, where you can pat a puppy and learn more about how you can help rehouse and relocate lovely scruffies a new home across South Australia.
For those with an appetite, there will be plenty of tasty food stalls, as well as the Feast Birthday Cake Bake Off judged by the iconic Maggie Beer at 11:15am.
Picnic party goers can expect plenty of action, with lots of free sports activities with local legends Adelaide United, Rugby Sharks, Surf Lifesaving and the Adelaide Spikers. For wannabee soccer players, meet your hero Adelaide United Josh Cavalo, bring your footy shirts for Josh to sign! Or if you are feeling competitive, kids can enjoy plenty of outdoor games from connect 4, to the family favourite lawn game Petanque.
Put some colour back into your world with free face painting for kids and even free temporary Tattoos by Elder Care. Or get crafty with Lutheran Care, making DIY Keyrings and other craft activities.
Don’t forget to put your best disco outfit on, so you can dance to the beat of SAFM who will be onsite playing their toe-tapping beats, to get you in the party mood. Keep an eye out for Black Thunders giveaway.
Sit back and relax and enjoy the festival beats, surrounded by beautiful drag queens, fluffy puppies, rainbow colours and a very happy community.
