We would like to acknowledge that the land on which Adelaide Beer & BBQ Festival is held is the traditional land of the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. We respect the Elders of the Kaurna people, past, present and emerging.

All Beer & BBQ Festival events are strictly 'Wanker-free'. If you see a friend acting like a wanker, pull them up. If you feel you are acting like a wanker, pull your head in. And if you need you can always let one of the BBF team or security know if you've witnessed some wankerism. Adelaide Beer & BBQ Festival is an accessible venue presented almost exclusively on flat hard stand ground. Companion card holders are welcome to bring a companion with any full paying adult ticket holder.

No. Beer & BBQ Festival has been a cashless event since 2015. This is to ensure speed of service, increased security and ease of transactions at the many Bars, Food Outlets and Vendor Stalls. Most importantly, there will be no need to wait in lines, counting out coins to buy a beer, as your friends get thirsty for your round! It’s super simple to use – just like using PayWave at the pub – make sure you bring your credit card, bank card or (charged up) phone with PayWave capabilities to the festival and have money in your bank! Then let the exhibitor know what you would like to purchase, they will ring up the transaction on their device. Then tap your card against the Square device at each stall and bingo, the transaction is complete, start enjoying your beers!

ABBF is now essentially 5 festivals in one weekend. Each of the 5 sessions are different and one may appeal more than others to your tastes. There are heaps of ticket types, from the Whole Hog Season Pass (which gets you ultimate access, in and out of the festival all weekend) to individual session tickets and many combinations in between. Whole Hog tickets are limited and always first to sell out. If you want the full Beer & BBQ Fest experience, grab yours early. All sessions aside from the Sunday Roast (Sunday day time) are strictly 18+.

The approximate price guide at ABBF is: 120ml sample of beer or cider: from $2.50 Full 425ml beer or cider: from $8 (depending on the ABV%) Food: $15.00 – $40.00

Bloody oath there is! Cider, seltzer, wine, gin, rum, cocktails and more. Plus a variety of non-alcoholic options. Check out the brewery lineup page when that drops in April.

Yes, in fact it’s encouraged. If it has water in it then it needs to be factory sealed but we encourage any and all to bring an empty bottle and use one of our free water refill stations. ABBF is 100% single use plastic bottle free.

ABBF is held in the vast indoor, covered and some outdoor spaces at the Adelaide Showground. It’s June though and it get’s cold, sometimes even wet, so dress weather appropriately as the show goes on rain, hail or shine!

Like all licensed venues, we can only fit a certain number of people at any one time. To ensure you do not miss out we recommend to pre-purchase tickets for each session. When the session is sold out it is sold out! If there are tickets left for any given session they will be available on the door, but this is not guaranteed.

Nope you can’t bring the little piglets to any ABBF session other than the Sunday Roast session. During the Sunday Roast session, any ticket holding adult can bring one two legged or four legged underage guest with them at no cost. You do not have to buy tickets for those under 18 years old.

If you have a ticketing query your best point of contact is your place of purchase, for BBF our ticketing partner is Moshtix so best to contact them through your Moshtix account.

If you are an individual session ticket holder then there are no pass-outs available. However if you hold a Whole Hog Season Pass then you can come and go from ABBF as many times as you please.

ABBF runs a volunteer programme for all sessions where you can lend your services to one session and receive a ticket to another session. Volunteer positions cover many areas of the event from wristbanding at entry, to assisting with health directions and even pouring beers. You will get to meet great crew and be a part of the BBF family! Please register your interest in volunteering by emailing hello@beerbbqfest.com.au

A full list of prohibited items will be published prior to ABBF. But it’s generally common sense folks!

You can reach out to Kevin anytime at hello@beerbbqfest.com.au Note we do get a lot of queries so may not be able to get back to you immediately.
