Tickets for 2026 grants include general admission and on-site camping for up to seven nights (from 17–24 August), depending on the vehicle pass purchased. Each vehicle entering the festival grounds must also secure a Vehicle Entry Pass, which determines arrival dates and camping access.

Opal Evolution is an immersive outback arts and culture festival held in Andamooka, the home of the world's rarest opal. Across three nights the desert landscape comes alive with large-scale light projections, live music, giant puppets, and community parades. By day, visitors can join creative workshops, explore opal mining heritage, and connect with artists, locals, and the unique spirit of this opal-rich town. Blending art, story, and stars under vast desert skies, Opal Evolution offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the heart of Outback South Australia.
The festival has grown into an award-winning event in Western Victoria over the years, which is always held on the last Saturday in February.
When first established, the festival sought to bring the past, present and future of the region together. The already well-established timber industry has been a part of the region since the 1860s and continues today. This is represented by the focus on wood. For wine, this highlights the growing number of vineyards on the outskirts of town, with wine now becoming a big part of our local culture.
Roses are also big in the Heywood area, in particular thanks to the world-renowned Treloar’s Rose Farm. In addition, 600 roses have been planted in the main street area by our local garden club. With all three of wood, wine and roses represented, the festival captures a big part of our local community.
