June 2026

There’ll be no time to feel the cold when your calendar is packed with these winter warmers. Here are some great events happening in SA this June.

1. Adelaide Cabaret Festival

When: 4–21 June
Where: Various locations

It’s that time of year when all of Adelaide’s a stage! Acclaimed artists from across the globe put on the glitz and glam as the Adelaide Cabaret Festival lights up winter nights (pictured above). Music, satire and comedy worlds collide with shows and experiences for all manner of tastes.

Swing past the Adelaide Festival Centre foyer before, during and after shows to see it transformed into a glamorous homage to cabaret costumes from legends far and wide. Everyone’s a winner when Tina del Twist breaks out the bingo cage, snacks and songs at Brunch n’ Bingo. And don’t miss time-twisting genre-bending favourites Postmodern Jukebox, as they reimagine iconic tracks as you’ve never heard them before. Nothing like a little razzle dazzle to warm your winter calendar.

2. The Bend Super Trucks

When: 6–7 June
Where: Shell V-power Motorsport Park

It’s ‘haul’ or nothing as the Australian Super Trucks roll into The Bend for their debut. The Bend Super Trucks will be turning Tailem Bend into the wildest ‘truck stop’ you’ve ever seen.

Expect thrills and spills as these purpose-built race trucks throw their mammoth weight and 1000-plus horsepower engines around the track. It’s a pedal-to-the-metal weekend packed with truckloads of action, from smoke-show burnouts and aggressive drag racing to monster rigs on display, and fireworks that’ll finish the night in top gear.

3. South Australian Orchid Fair

When: 6–7 June
Where: Campbelltown Community Centre

Exotic, fragrant and delicate; orchids are one of the world’s most diverse families of flowering plants. Whether you’re orchid-curious or a devoted afficionado, there’s something for everyone at the South Australian Orchid Fair.

Be amazed by blooming marvellous floral displays from clubs across the state, pick up re-potting pointers from expert orchid growers and add to, or start, your collection of varieties. When you’re ready for a cuppa, enjoy a light lunch and Devonshire tea surrounded by flowers.

4. Paint your own wine label at Thorn-Clarke Wines

When: 12 June
Where: Thorn-Clarke Wines, Angaston

By swirling your glass and your paintbrush, you’ll achieve the perfect blend for a wintry day. Here’s your chance to uncork your creativity and Paint Your Own Wine Label at Thorn-Clarke Wines.

Over a shared grazing platter and glass of wine to get the creative juices flowing, you’ll be guided step-by-step as you paint your one-of-a-kind wine label and bottle. A piece of art worthy of display. So, once you’re home, just pour yourself its contents and admire your gallery-worthy vintage.

If you prefer fluffy over fruit-forward, try the Pat & Paint Highland Cows Art Experience on 20 June instead.

5. Sedan Swap Meet

When: 14 June
Where: Sedan Recreation Park, Mid Murray

Has there ever been a better reason to visit Sedan? Gather the family, hop in the sedan, and head to Sedan for a day of swapping, selling and sharing stories. All bodies are beautiful, so utes, trucks, hatchbacks, wagons, big muscle cars are all welcome as the Sedan Swap Meet cruises back into the Mid Murray.

Classic car lovers, collectors and bargain hunters will kick into top gear browsing rows of treasures and hard-to-find car parts, antique tools and old-school motoring memorabilia – and bits and pieces of sedans in Sedan.
