Clipsal 500 Adelaide
23-26 March
Full-blooded V8 action hits the city streets, as
Adelaide combines Australia’s largest motor sport festival with four
nights of concerts, spectacular air displays and non-stop on-track action.
This is the race Murray Walker called the greatest touring car event in
the world, and we’re not about to argue with the expert. Feel the rush as
the cars roar by during the day, then party into the night with live music
from acts including INXS, The Living End and Jimmy Barnes.

Laura Folk Fair

Take a trip to the lovely
little town of Laura in the Clare Valley for a weekend of fabulous country
hospitality. Browse through 110 stalls selling everything from jewellery

heels at the twilight bush dance. Meanwhile the kids can party at a safe,
supervised Blue Light Disco, or take a camel ride through the town
streets. The highlight of the fair is the Golden North Ice cream eating
competition, in which competitors race to eat a litre of ice cream in
record time. Join in, or just stand back and watch in awe.

Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival
15 & 17
April
There's a simple reason why this country racing carnival is the
biggest of its type in the world: it's so much fun. Every year on Easter
Monday, thousands of locals and visitors pack their cars with picnics and
make the pilgrimage to Oakbank, in the Adelaide Hills. Get there early and
indulge in a champagne breakfast, then spend the day watching the races,
indulging your childish side at the sideshows and on the rides, wining,
dining and generally enjoying yourself with your friends.
