The Come Out Children’s Festival was created in 1974 after a small youth arts program at the Adelaide Festival of Arts was successful enough to be turned into a stand-alone festival. Now known as DreamBIG Children’s Festival, the event has welcomed 2.5 million young participants over the years. The biennial tradition is known to be a prominent part of growing up in South Australia, aiming to spark fresh, inspiring arts experiences for young people and families.
DreamBIG’s Creative Producer Georgi Paech explains how the festival’s 2025 theme ‘I Was, I Am, I Will Be’ was chosen.
