The season ahead
There’s something about this time of year in Adelaide that just hits differently. The evenings stretch a little longer, the city comes alive with colour and creativity, and there’s always something worth checking out. From the return of our world-famous festival season to local markets, live music and fresh cultural experiences around every corner, the months ahead are packed with things to see, do, and enjoy right here in SA.

Get behind Buy SA Seafood
Get behind Buy SA Seafood. South Australia’s seafood industry is second to none, and it’s a great time to enjoy what our local fishers and producers do best. From prawns and oysters to fresh local fish, choosing SA seafood means top-quality flavour, freshness and care, whether you’re dining out or cooking at home.

Grace Jones at WOMAD
Experience a true original live. Superstar, music legend and unapologetic icon Grace Jones brings her genre-defying sound and magnetic stage presence to Adelaide, celebrating a career that has shaped pop, disco, soul and beyond. From Studio 54 anthems to her enduring influence on today’s music, this is a rare chance to witness a performer whose impact spans decades – and who shows no sign of slowing down. 6–9 March.

Podcasts
Perfect for morning walks or long drives, try Conversations with Richard Fidler, The Life Scientific, or storytelling podcasts like The Moth.
WATCH
Kumarangk – First Nations Storytelling Project
Kumarangk is a significant First Nations arts project sharing the true story of Ngarrindjeri women who resisted the Hindmarsh Island bridge. Told through visual art, film and on-Country performance, it offers powerful insight guided by Ngarrindjeri women’s cultural authority.
Adelaide never does things by halves, and this year is shaping up to be something special. I’m looking forward to another season of great stories, great experiences and great company around our city.
