South Australia loves a party and our world-class events are our way of showcasing our exceptional food, wine, sport, art and boutique capital. In the space of a few months each year, Adelaide becomes host to some of the best events including Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Festival, WOMADelaide, Santos Tour Down Under and LIV Golf Adelaide. We're also home to AFL Gather Round, Tasting Australia, and the winter festival lighting up the city, Illuminate Adelaide. The party doesn’t stop in Adelaide though. Our regions will find any excuse for a celebration, with regional events and festivals showing-off the best of our state's food, wine, fashion, art and design all year round. There is always something on in South Australia, so keep busy this month with our calendar of events.
