By Lauren Ferrone
Published: Thursday, January 23, 2020

From ringing in the New Year all over again to watching footy players take to the cricket pitch, we’ve got a heap on in the next fortnight. Here’s what we’re up to.

1. Crush Festival

When: 24–26 January

Where: Adelaide Hills

Parts of the Adelaide Hills may have been ravaged by fire, but there’s still beauty to behold. See for yourself and support the region by heading to the hills for Crush Festival. Take your pick from more than 30 venues hosting events across the region, whether dining at a winery for a delicious degustation dinner or lazing about vineyards with a vino in hand.

2. Australia Day

When: 26 January

Where: All over SA

There’s no better time to come together and reflect on our great land than now. From enjoying a pub meal made from local produce to a traditional Aussie BBQ breakfast, take your pick from a range of events across South Australia to pay tribute to Australia. There’ll be bushfire appeals at most of the events, so keep your eyes peeled.

3. Lunar New Year Street Party

When: 1 February

Where: Chinatown, Gouger St

While many already rang in the New Year a month ago, there’s always room for more celebration. Check out Chinatown’s Adelaide Lunar New Year Street Party to experience live music, market and pop-up food stalls and, of course, the lion dance. Don’t forget: it’s the year of the rat, considered a sign of wealth in Chinese culture.

4. Bushfire T20 Showdown

When: 2 February

Where: Adelaide Oval

It may not be footy season just yet, but don’t let that stop you from pulling out your Crows and Port Power merchandise. Switching the footy for the cricket bat, the rival SA clubs go head-to-head for a showdown of a different kind – the Bushfire T20 Showdown. With the aim to raise funds for the SA Bushfire Appeal, players from Adelaide and Port Adelaide Football Clubs will join some of cricket’s biggest names in a special T20 cricket match.
