The Ultimate Guide to Adelaide Fringe

Here at Kids In Adelaide we LOVE the Adelaide Fringe. It is such a special time of year where you can see shows and performers that you would never normally see, bask in the warm nights at one of the Fringe hubs and of course enjoy the look on your kids faces when they see something incredible!

We have HEAPS of show, Fringe venues and food recommendations to make sure your Adelaide Fringe is a good one. Make sure you check out some of the pages below to make sure you book a show that the whole family will love, that you know exactly what to expect at the Fringe venues and of course what you will EAT AND DRINK between shows (that one is important!). Our biggest tip is to take a chance and see something new – there is dance, magic, puppetry, comedy, cabaret, circus and heaps more to choose from. We recommend starting with our PICK OF THE FRINGE page to find a perfect show for your and your family. Enjoy!
