In 1974 the Youth Program Committee of the Adelaide Festival of the Arts hosted a program for young people that they called ‘Come Out’.
This program was so successful that it was reborn the following year as a stand-alone festival - the Come Out Children’s Festival.
This special exhibition explores the 50 year history of South Australia’s beloved children’s festival.
Do you have a special piece of DreamBIG’s history at home or in your classroom? We invite past educators and participants to submit for consideration items and images from past Come Out and DreamBIG Festivals to be incorporated into the exhibition. Register your interest by December 15 2024.
