Due to the extreme weather occurance on 9 and 10 December 2023, The City of Port Adelaide Enfield made the difficult decision to cancel the Dockside Festival.

The safety of our community, participants, and staff is our top priority, and the decision was made with careful consideration. The severe weather posed too great a risk, and ensuring everyone's safety is our utmost concern.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Comments from Mayor Claire Boan
“We were so incredibly disappointed to have to cancel the two day Dockside Festival. Unfortunately, with extreme weather conditions across the entire weekend, we had to make this difficult decision.”

“The anticipation for this event was huge and we hope to bring something back in the future."
