Once again the festival reaches out across the state through its schools, touring and literature programs. Local community events and school based activities explode across the state to create the world's largest celebration of youth and the arts.
Pulling into rural communities, Convoy will combine with community initiated events to created a unique festival in each town, mirroring the spirit of Capital City built on the banks of the River Torrens in Elder Park. Focus areas for Convoy are Pt Lincoln, Riverland and South East regions.
Local events and festivities will include opening parades, art exhibitions, music, theatre and dance performances, literature, technology, forums plus training and development for young people relating to Festival activities. Convoy includes the following touring performances:
