Whether you’re moving to Adelaide, South Australia for work, family or just a change of scenery, we all need to take some time out now and again. No matter what your tastes, you’re sure to find something among Adelaide’s numerous festivals to entertain and amuse. There’s a reason South Australia is called the festival state and this is just a few of them…
WOMADelaide is one of Adelaide’s most expansive festivals celebrating international music, dance and art. This outdoor festival is held annually and runs over 4 days.

If you enjoy knocking back a cold one after a hard day’s work you might like to attend Shutzenfest. A weekend of traditional German music, dancing, food and beer, it hails back to South Australia’s heritage and the large scale emigration of Germans to the state in the 1800’s.
