[3] In 2011 approximately 48,000 people attended Feast events, with another 40,000 tuning into the live radio broadcast from Picnic in the Park with Joy 94.9.
[6] In May 2015, Feast Festival made its Artistic Director, Catherine Fitzgerald, redundant in what was described as part of "a recent review of operational requirements in response to financial constraints".
[8] This left the festival without artistic leadership, to be led by the General Manager, Cassandra Liebeknecht and Chair of the Board, Joshua Rayner.
[10] In 2016 the organisation was "bailed out" by Arts South Australia Executive Director Peter Louca following the "significant unreported losses".
[12] The Feast Festival is sponsored by, amongst others, the Adelaide City Council, South Australian Tourism Commission, Coopers Brewery, Arts SA, Blaze Magazine, and AGL Energy.
