Gather Round Stays in SA Until 2029

Gather Round is staying put in South Australia until at least 2029, sealing a landmark three-year deal that cements the state as the home of Australia’s biggest footy spectacle. Following a record-breaking 2024 festival that drew over 270,000 fans and more than 1 million attendees since 2023, the event has become a powerhouse for tourism and local economies, generating over $285 million and attracting 132,000 interstate visitors. Starting in 2027, fans will get even closer to their heroes with a new player parade featuring all AFL clubs. With strong backing from the state government and AFL, Gather Round continues to fuel grassroots football and solidify its status as Australia’s premier annual sporting event.
