DreamBIG is turning 50 - and you are invited to celebrate with us!
In honour of this significant milestone, we're reviving one of Come Out Children's Festival's cherished traditions – the Parade. We want students across South Australia to unite for a grand, statewide birthday celebration!
The DreamBIG Birthday Parade will officially open the 10-day festival at Adelaide Festival Centre. Registered schools will receive a workshop from a DreamBIG artist in the lead up to the parade to help collateral for the event, as well as other resources to support your involvement. Places are limited – book your class in now via the DreamBIG school booking form.
Unable to join DreamBIG’s Birthday Parade? Host your own parade!
Register to receive a how-to pack, including free access to virtual workshops and resources to help you create an amazing parade in your school community.
