Take a flight with Tasting Australia Airlines to places you've always wanted to see. Savor the magic that occurs when world-class chefs join local legends—impossible moments to replicate.
The Adelaide Festival is known as Australia's premier arts festival on a global scale. It is regarded as one of the best in the world, ranking alongside sister festivals in Edinburgh and Avignon and giving spectators the opportunity to view the most innovative and well-known artists currently active in the art world. Adelaide Writers' Week, Australia's largest free literary festival, is part of the program as well. Adelaide Festival has led the way in artistic innovation since 1960, commissioning and supporting avant-garde new works.
Every year, in February and March, Adelaide Fringe is an open-access festival that invites anybody with an event to take part, spanning four weeks. What is meant by "open access"? Each year, hundreds of curators and venues work under the auspices of Adelaide Fringe; we do not control or limit the program, nor do we run any venues or events. Adelaide Fringe offers a venue to sustain this distinctive ecology. The Fringe team is a year-round, easily reachable resource for venues, producers, and artists.
Every June, one of the most prestigious festivals in the city brings together internationally renowned guitarists with Australian local and indie musicians for a two-week showcase of musical prowess. The Adelaide Guitar Festival keeps demonstrating why Adelaide is deserving of its designation as a UNESCO City of Music. The guitar festival features seminars where budding musicians can pick the brains of bands and performers themselves, as well as industry activities, music forums, and classical concerts.
