About Coober Pedy Opal Festival 2026

An Outback Festival like no other!

Celebrating all that is Coober Pedy – opals, underground, outback and our amazing multicultural welcoming community.

The Opal Festival is the largest event in Coober Pedy and is held annually to celebrate the vibrant and culturally diverse community, opal and mining.

The Festival provides an opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate and strengthen its cultural and social bonds and share with the many visitors who come along to our friendly town.

Incorporating food, beverage, craft and market stalls, games and entertainment, the festival provides activities for all ages and cultures in an engaging and entertaining event.
