The usually sedate city goes off as thousands flock to its four festivals in one. Here’s our expert’s guide to how to make the most of it (and remain sane).
For the past 10 years I’ve gone to the Adelaide Festival every March. It is, I think, easily the best arts ‘festival’ in the country. When you put Australia’s biggest arts festival in a city of 1.3 million people it creates a real buzz everywhere you go.
I say ‘festival’ because it’s really four festivals in one: Adelaide Fringe, Writers’ Week, Womadelaide and the Adelaide Festival. This means there’s plenty to see for every taste.
