The final siren has sounded on AFL Gather Round 2025, with South Australia once again coming alive to celebrate all things footy over one action-packed weekend — 18 teams, 9 games, and one big Festival of Footy. For the first time, the Barossa played host to the action, while the Norwood Food & Wine Festival returned to bring some extra flair and flavour to the final day.
Get ready to do it all again. AFL Gather Round will be back in South Australia from 9—12 April 2026. Now is the time to start dreaming up your next footy-filled adventure. Think iconic SA wine regions, crowd-favourite restaurants and local experiences that will stick with you long after the final whistle.
