 Offbeat Arts Feast |
31 Ebenezer Place Level 1 Adelaide, SA 5000 Australia +61 8 8100 2000 http://www.adelaidefringe.com.au |
Attracting massive crowds and top international performers, the three-week biennial Fringe is one of the most lively arts feasts you are ever likely to see. The program is enormous and fits most pockets and tastes. Featuring stand-up comedy, cabaret, music, dance, street-acts and more, the focus is always on cutting-edge, independent art. Local cafes, bars and clubs are filled to the brim with revelers. Exhausted by the bedlam, the city experiences a lull for a couple weeks after it is all over. Admission varies with each event. Many shows are free. See website for biennial details and event timelines. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bygone Era of Motor Sports |
50 Grenfell Street Adelaide, SA 5000 Australia +61 8 8227 0666 http://www.classicadelaide.com.au |
These five days of motor-sport indulgence offer an entirely different buzz to the high-performance, technological wizardry of Clipsal 500. Winding along from the Barossa Valley to the Fleurieu Peninsula, the Classic Adelaide rally is all about legendary motor cars from a bygone era. Enter the pre-1970 Austin Healeys, MGs and Ford Mustangs! Each day the rally starts and ends at the Adelaide Hilton but follows a different route. A total distance of 1082 kilometres is covered with plenty of spectator viewing spots along the way. Rally entrants may be in competition or touring. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of Adelaide's enduring traditions |
King William Street Adelaide, SA 5000 Australia +1 300 65 5276 (Toll Free Australia Only) http://www.cupageant.com.au |
One of Adelaide's most enduring traditions, the Christmas Pageant heralds the arrival of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) each November. The pageant was originally created by Sir Edward Heyward, as a morale-lifting entertainment event for the masses, following the Depression. Annually since 1933 (except during World War II) the Christmas Pageant has delighted young and old. From just eight floats and four bands in 1933, the Pageant has become an extravaganza of 70 sets and 1,300 participants. At over three kilometres in length, this is the largest pageant of its type in the world. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Go Greek for the day! Join the local Greek Orthodox community in celebrating all things Greek, just south of the clock tower on Semaphore Esplanade.
