Planning Week!
2026-07-26 08:00 - 2026-07-29 17:00 (Australia/Adelaide)
Gather your household to discuss your participation plan. Just you? Great, you get to call the shots! If you have kids, include them too—this festival is for everyone!

Create your own guidelines: We suggest keeping the essentials – bills, rent/mortgage, groceries, healthcare, and saying ENOUGH to everything else! But every household is different—perhaps that Sunday brunch is a must, you want to pause just one category of spending, or maybe you get really creative and go all in.
Plan for events: List any important dates in August—birthdays, weddings, holidays, events and potential obstacles. Decide how you’ll handle these occasions. Need a gift? Consider making, upcycling, or thrifted options first, or does it need to be new? Knowing upfront what to make exceptions for will help you stay on track.
Plan for Extra Cash: By September, you might have some extra cash! Think ahead to avoid spending it all on September 1st. Consider using this money to reduce debt, save for items that reduce your carbon footprint, or donate to a charity aligned with your values.

Happy Festival! Let's get festive!

Welcome to the first day of the Enough Festival! Thank you so much for joining us on this beautiful journey.
For the first day of the festival, it’s time to get festive and decorate your home. Think Christmas, but without all the buying!
Create a cozy festive vibe. Decorate your home using what you have in your garden, or objects around the house.
Use what you have and get creative. It can be as simple as a vase of greenery, or you can go all out. The goal is to create an atmosphere that feels cozy, festive, reflects the natural season, serves as a reminder of your commitment to stop spending.

Pantry Cook-up Day
2026-08-02 08:00 - 17:00
Spend the day with the members of your household cooking up what’s already in your pantry. Use what you have rather than head to the shops. Get as creative as you can with those jars and tins at the back of the pantry! At the end of the session, freeze your excess. These are the meals you can grab and reheat when you’re too tired to cook to avoid the temptation of takeaway.

Gather and Celebrate

You did it – only 1 day to go!
Celebrate the festival’s end and the coming of Spring through shared food and gift giving- Enough Festival style.

Host a meal and invite guests to bring a dish made entirely from food they already have. Stuck for an ingredient? Substitutre or ask dinner guests if they can bring it along with them!
Share stories of the month that’s been with those you are gathering with.
Exchange gifts that come from the garden, are homemade from items you already have, something you already own, or something sourced from community. Children can join in too, by bringing a toy they no longer play with and gifting it to another child. It’s a great opportunity to normalise gifting second-hand!
