Arts & Culture in South Australia

Join in the fun...

If you love being part of an enthralled theatre audience, dancing to international music, listening to readings from the world’s great writers, laughing at cheeky comedians, or being mesmerised by innovative visual arts, then come to South Australia. We’re widely recognised for our rich artistic heritage and arts events. You really don’t want to miss them.

The Adelaide Festival of Arts is one of the world’s great arts festivals. This is a large-scale multi-arts event of extraordinary diversity. The next festival is 26 February - 14 March 2010.

Our Adelaide Fringe is so popular, it’s become an annual event. It’s the second biggest Fringe in the world after Edinburgh. The Adelaide Fringe features theatre, comedy, dance, circus, spoken word, poetry, film and video, visual arts and more, from some of the finest independent artists from Australia and overseas.

The exciting Adelaide Film Festival is where you’ll catch movie world premieres, film forums and more. It’s the only Australian festival that both screens and finances films. It even offers the Natuzzi International Best Feature award valued at $25,000 - the first film festival award of its kind in Australia.

WOMADelaide is three nights and two days of dazzling music from around the globe. Set in the heart of the city at Adelaide’s Botanic Garden, giant Moreton Bay Figs provide shady groves for performances, while the lawns provide plenty of room to dance.

The Cabaret Festival, as the name suggests, offers a dazzling assortment of old-worlde and innovative cabaret acts.

And our Feast Festival is one of the three major queer festivals in Australia. Enjoy a program of theatre, cabaret, comedy, film, forums, literature, dance, visual arts, tourism, sporting and community events.

You can find details of upcoming theatre, dance and visual arts events on the Adelaide Festival Centre website.
