From April 18–27, the Southern Eyre Peninsula once again became a canvas for bold ideas, vibrant performances, and unforgettable experiences during the Salt Festival 2025. Stretching across coastal gems like Port Lincoln, Coffin Bay, Tumby Bay, and Cummins, this ten-day celebration brought together artists, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and innovators in a true showcase of regional brilliance.
Whether it was live music echoing through fishing towns, workshops exploring sustainability and wellness, or experimental art that invited conversation and collaboration—Salt Festival proved that regional South Australia is not only thriving with culture but bursting with opportunity.
