Celebrate long Winter Nights in Adelaide

Illuminate Adelaide has officially wrapped up its fifth edition, running from 2–20 July 2025. It lit up Adelaide with an expansive lineup of events — from free installations throughout the CBD to spectacular ticketed shows across the city. Well known as a winter highlight, the festival generally runs at the same period year on year. Want to plan ahead? Keep an eye on our dedicated page and plan your next South Australian winter adventure, from cosy getaways to immersive experiences, plus food and wine offerings to warm the soul on those long winter nights.

After your walk through the glowing gardens, make your way to Botanic Lodge. A seasonal dining experience awaits, running Friday to Sunday across the Night Visions season — where winter produce meets flickering candlelight, and the pace gently shifts to something slower.
