Adelaide Fringe is of course famous for it’s performances, shows and art installations BUT it’s also one such a great opportunity to get down to the city and try some new food flavours, some crazy treats or just a good old ice cream from one of the many many food trucks and vendors that set up for the month of Adelaide Fringe. It’s actually one of our Fringe highlights so we thought this year we’d share our favourite food-y finds.

Gelatissmo – Rundle St

The perfect treat while you’re walking back to your car or killing time between shows. As always, there are so many flavours to choose from, but we can’t wait to taste their new 2023 special Adelaide Fringe flavour – ‘Espresso Macadamia Magnifique’. Doesn’t it sound delish?

Gang Gang

Make it a burger…but make it a bit Fringe-y. Find Gang Gang in Gluttony with their shiny new rebranded container (just look straight ahead as you come in the East Tce entry) and grab the yummiest burgers going around. Our kids loved The God’s Plan (classic cheeseburger) and I loved the Cardi B, which is chicken with slaw, avocado and other delicous things. YUM.

  • Kids are unpredictable. So are Fringe shows. That’s why planning is your new best friend. Here’s how to tackle a day at Adelaide Fringe with kids like a pro. 🚗 Sort Your Transport or ParkingWeekends get hectic, and opening night? Even wilder. Pre-book a car park (seriously, best invention since sliced bread), or take public transport, an Uber, or even a bike - bonus points if it’s a hipster one (because Fringe). Book East end parking here: https://bookabay.wilsonparking.com.au/ 🎭 Know Where Your Show IsRookie mistake: assuming everything happens in The Garden of Unearthly Delights. Fringe is everywhere - from the city to the suburbs and hills. Double-check your venue or risk a last-minute sprint. Grab the Venue Map Here: https://adelaidefringe.com.au/fringetix/venues-map ⏳ Leave Wiggle Room Between ShowsKids hate being rushed almost as much as your partner hates Married at First Sight. Give yourself at least 30 minutes between shows for toilet breaks, snack stops, and getting distracted by street performers. Plus, seating is usually first in, best dressed - so aim to arrive 10 minutes early. 🎭 Bonus Tip: Many performers stick around for photos after the show. Don’t be that parent who drags their kid away before they can meet…

  • The 2025 Adelaide Fringe runs from Friday, February 21, 2025 - Sunday, March 23, 2025 It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas, we are talking about the 2025 Adelaide Fringe! Four weeks of fun across Adelaide including a BUNCH of family friendly shows. There is everything from kids dance shows, kids circus performances, music concerts for the whole family, live theatre with much loved kids stories, puppet shows that even Mum & Dad will enjoy and even discos for kids! The Adelaide Fringe is such a brilliant family event for kids of all ages - there are shows for babies and little kids right through to tweens and teenagers that will leave the whole family wanting more. Because of the casual nature of most Adelaide Fringe shows, taking your kids to a performance is a great way to introduce them to the arts and start teaching them about theatre etiquette. The whole family might learn some new dance moves, a circus trick, a new song or even learn a valuable life lesson. Most of the family friendly shows happen over the weekends of the Adelaide Fringe so have a look at our picks below or jump…
