South Australia might come to life in summer, but there’s still so much to do in SA in the cooler months. Here's what we're getting up to over the next fortnight.

1. Coober Pedy Opal Festival

When: 21–23 June

Where: Coober Pedy

With a sizzling summer behind us, winter is the ideal time to visit Australia’s opal capital, Coober Pedy. This June, the Coober Pedy Opal Festival gives tourists and locals the chance to explore underground hideouts, traverse the outback and feast their eyes on a stunning array of opals. Browse local crafts at market stalls and watch the fireworks display light up the outback sky on opening night.

3. Winter Wonderland

When: 28 June–22 July

Glenelg’s Winter Wonderland will have you thinking its Christmas time in New York City’s Central Park!

This year, you can dance (or skate) the night away at the inaugural Twilight Disco Party on opening night. Just remember to rug up!

When: 28 June–28 July

Where: Port Rd, Adelaide

Go back millions of years at Jurassic Creatures – an interactive exhibition that explores a prehistoric world when giant reptiles roamed free.
