Celebrate long Winter Nights in Adelaide

Long winter nights in Adelaide will be celebrated with immersive experiences, as Illuminate Adelaide lights up the state from 1–19 July 2026, celebrating the best and brightest in art, music and technology. 

Each year the festival lights up Adelaide with an expansive lineup of events — from free installations throughout the CBD to spectacular ticketed shows across the city. With the 2026 program to be revealed soon, 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.

Night Visions Dining Experience at Botanic Lodge

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.
