10 Mad March must-dos
With the end-of-year festivities behind us, South Australia is gearing up for the maddest few months on the state’s calendar.
We’ve got you covered with some must-see Mad March events for every festivalgoer. By the time you reach the end of the list, there will be no doubt why South Australia is known as ‘The Festival State’.
FESTIVAL FAVOURITES
The Garden of Unearthly Delights
When: 17 February–20 March
Where: Rundle Park, East Tce
From carnival rides and comedy to street food and market stalls, a customary stroll through The Garden of Unearthly Delights is a given during the Adelaide Fringe – especially as the iconic festival precinct celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Adelaide Festival
When: 4–20 March
Where: Various venues across SA
The 2022 Adelaide Festival program is an unparalleled mix of internationally acclaimed theatre productions, musical concerts, dance pieces, recitals and visual arts displays. The festival’s free opening night show held at Adelaide Oval is a must-see. Showcasing homegrown circus favourites Gravity & Other Myths, you’ll hold your breath as the 30 strong troupe team up with a huge choir as they fly into the air and defy gravity. To celebrate Adelaide Festival’s stellar program this year, RAA members can save 10% on selected shows.
FAMILIES
Bubba-Licious
When: 18 February–20 March
Where: Gluttony, Rymill Park
This year, Adelaide Fringe’s audience got a little harder to impress. However, we think this show will be a winner with little festivalgoers. Bubba-Licious – a 30-minute sensory performance – will delight audiences aged six months to three years old and features puppetry, clowns, bubbles, shadow play and much more. The bonus? Mum and Dad get to leave home and enjoy the festivities too.
