Wildlife Carnival 2019

About Wildlife Carnival 2019

Join us in celebration of our beautiful wildlife and help raise funds for the Kangaroo Island Wildlife Network at the Islander Estate Vineyards cellar door.

Often referred to as a ‘zoo without fences’ Kangaroo Island remains as a sanctuary for an extraordinary variety of native wildlife. However many of these animals are now threatened, so it is important that we conserve their habitats and manage the threats that impact on them.

Gates open at 5pm and the show will kick off with Kangaroo Island singer-songwriters Patti Blucher, Richard Glatz and Boone Law. Our very own master African drummer Sam Oshodi will then get the heart pumping in a lively performance of song and drum. He will be followed by special guest Nancy Bates, a proud and strong Barkindji Woman from New South Wales. Nancy has recently launched her solo career after a number of years of touring with Archie Roach and her songs are pure emotion, a gift to the human spirit.

Food and wine will be available to purchase from the Islander Estate Vineyard Cellar Door and Chef Sue Pearson’s That Van. There will also be kids activities, market stalls and a charity auction.

The evening will conclude with filmmaker Samuel Chen presenting his multi-award winning documentary Kangaroo Island: Life on the Edge.

Bring your picnic rug and chairs to enjoy an evening of entertainment in the paddock.

Strictly NO BYO FOOD OR ALCOHOL. This is an all weather event and tickets are non-refundable…..if rain is forecast please bring an umbrella and we will dance in the summer rain!
