Festival Plaza - Adelaide

The Adelaide Riverbank is the heart of our vibrant city and one of Adelaide's iconic public spaces, offering panoramic views across the the River Torrens and surrounding park lands.

Festival Plaza is set to become a world-class destination in the heart of the Adelaide Riverbank Entertainment Precinct.

The upgrade of the Plaza is a key component to the success of the broader Adelaide Riverbank, as it will not only generate economic growth, but it will also become a destination of choice for local, interstate and overseas visitors.

A vibrant destination with people-focused spaces to explore, congregate, relax, shop, dine and play.

Festival Plaza is a unique, world-class hub for the arts, culture, tourism and entertainment.

Designed to connect

A reimagined station road, new Adelaide Railway Station entry and stronger integration with King William Road now connects the Adelaide Riverbank to the CBD better than ever before.

The promenade along the northern face of the Adelaide Festival Centre has been substantially upgraded to provide wider pathways and improved connections to the theatres. It incorporates a Walk of Fame', comprising stars set into the walkway celebrating performers past and present.

When completed, the redesign of Station Road will transform this area into a picturesque tree lined north-south boulevard connecting the city to the new Festival Plaza, Elder Park and the River Torrens.

Access to the theatres has been enhanced and visitors can able to relax in a central garden as they wait for a performance to begin, enjoy a bite to eat from the adjacent dining offerings or experience activities in the new Art Space Plaza.

The new award-winning entrance at the north of the Adelaide Railway Station provides level access to and from the Riverbank Footbridge and beyond, and an impressive vaulted ceiling, retail outlets, as well as entrances into the SkyCity Casino and Dunstan Playhouse.
