Between the food coma and family get-togethers, we’re packing in as much fun as we can before we bid 2019 farewell. Here’s what’s coming up.

1. Carols Around The World

When: 20 December

Where: Adelaide CBD

Haven’t had enough fa-la-la-ing? Stray from tradition and belt out some tunes in another language. The Carols Around the World concert includes favourites like O Little Town of Bethlehem and Silent Night, plus songs you may not have heard before from Scandinavia, Canada and France.

2. Bay Sheffield

When: 26–28 December

Where: Glenelg

Feeling the bloat from that Christmas feast? This running event may inspire you to get off the couch. Watch sprinters from around the world lace up their shoes and compete in the iconic Bay Sheffield. Head to Glenelg to cheer on the athletes during the 3-day sports carnival, which has been running for more than 130 years.

3. New Year’s Eve

When: 31 December

Where: Glenelg and Brighton

Farewell 2019 at Glenelg or Brighton with fireworks along the foreshore. The night’s free entertainment starts at 6pm with fireworks displays at 9.30pm at both Glenelg and Brighton beaches.

Need a lift? Jump aboard RAA’s free Park and Ride shuttle service. All you need to do is park your car at Harbour Town shopping centre, jump aboard, and sit back while we drive you to the Bay. We’ll even take you back to your car at the end of the festivities. Just like last year, buses will run every 20 minutes between 5pm and 1am.
