WHAT’S ON THIS MONTH IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

South Australians love to host — and you’re all invited. Every week, all year round, you’ll find somewhere to come together, meet locals and celebrate what’s made here.

This month, that generous spirit plays out across a packed sporting calendar, from warm summer sessions of the Women's T20I Series v India, to the island charm of the Kangaroo Island Racing Carnival and world-class tennis returning with the Women's Australian Open.

Beyond the stadiums and sidelines, the calendar includes the arts — Adelaide Fringe spills into parks and laneways, inviting everyone to pull up a chair to some of the best roving performances. Plus, Adelaide Festival brings the world to our stages, while WOMADelaide turns Botanic Park into a global dance floor.

Out in our regions, the calendar leans into life's simple pleasures too: fresh cray at the Beachport Crayfish Festival, sun-soaked live music at Streaky Sounds, entertainment among the vines during Coonawarra Fringe, world-class performances at Naracoorte Fringe Festival and a powerful celebration of culture and Country at Dupang Festival.

Best of the Adelaide Fringe 2026

The Adelaide Fringe is that one month a year when the city collectively forgets its bedtime. The nights are warmer and there’s that fizzy feeling in your chest, like anything could happen. You might follow the sound of a saxophone down Frome Street and find a crowd gathered around a sequin-clad busker. An hour later, you’re wedged into a Gluttony pop-up tent, laughter spilling out at the seams. These are the Adelaide Fringe events keeping the city up late.
