2. Sounds by the River
When: 11 January
Where: Mannum
Hear that? That’s the sound of a good time. Join a crowd of hundreds and head to the banks of the Murray for Sounds by the River – an outdoor music concert set among towering gum trees. Relax on a deck chair, or rock out on your feet to Killing Heidi, Hunters and Collectors and The Living End.
3. Cape Jaffa Seafood and Wine Festival

Forget the beach. Cool down this summer with the ultimate water fight at Mellor Park in Lockleys. Come armed with a water pistol and prepare to get drenched during a range of fun water activities for children and children at heart. Just don’t forget to bring a change of clothes.

The world’s best cyclists take to the streets for the Santos Tour Down Under, racing through Adelaide’s suburbs and surrounding towns. But the fun doesn’t stop when the competition ends.
