Adelaide Festival continues to be a cultural, tourism and economic smash for South Australia in 2019, easily breaking box office records set for itself in 2018.
“It once again put Adelaide centre-stage as one of the world’s great festival cities,” said festival executive director Rob Brookman.
A 2019 Economic Assessment report by Barry Burgan on behalf of Economic Research Consultants found that it injected $76.8 million into the South Australian economy.
This was up from $76.1 million from the year before.
The report also revealed that 19,046 visitors came from interstate or overseas for the festival. Visitor bed nights increased to 141,258 from 138,021 in 2018.
