Just because it’s cold and maybe a little wet, it doesn’t mean you’re banished to your couch for the next 3 months. Your’e not a bear – you don’t need to hibernate!
Also, our gorgeous City is twinkling with fun and excitement, just waiting for you to come in and celebrate! There are over 40 Splash Adelaide projects coming your way this winter and spring in Adelaide. With plenty of live entertainment, kids sport activities, pop up music festivals and culinary delights, there is something for every type of Adelady.
Here’s a list of a few things to do in the City this Winter — and might I add – ALL of these are more fun than couch time.
