February 2026

February is firing on all cylinders. With long days, warm nights and a line-up of events that make the most of both, here’s the best of what’s happening across SA this month.

1. 2026 Summer International Netball series: Australian Diamonds vs Jamaica

When: 5 February
Where: Adelaide Entertainment Centre

Don’t let this one pass you by. The Jamaica Sunshine Girls bring the heat against the Australian Diamonds, as Adelaide plays host to the opening clash of the 2026 Summer International Netball test series (pictured above).

In a showdown that’ll shine from start to finish, the two elite teams meet for the first time since Australia narrowly won in 2023. Long-time fans and fans-to-be can expect thrills, spills and world-class edge-of-your-seat action.

2. Fairytale Farm Fair

With Tarlee’s much-loved Sunflower Festival afflicted by drought, the Fairytale Farm Fair brings together a whole world of whimsical fun for families, friends and flower-lovers. From unicorn rides and live music to scarecrow competitions and countless stunning summer flowers, there’s a bit of magic for everyone.

3. Beerenberg High Tea

When: 7 and 21 February
Where: Beerenberg Farm, Hahndorf

Treat your tastebuds to a jam-packed afternoon of country charm and sweet indulgence. With each tier more decadent than the next, you’ll be thinking the Beerenberg High Tea looks far too good to eat.
