Adelaide Festival of Arts

March 1 - 17, 2002

The biennial Adelaide Festival is acknowledged as one of the world's great arts festivals, with a tradition of innovation since 1960.
Adelaide is planned on a unique system of open parklands and squares and it contains many performing arts venues and galleries within walking distance. The weather in March is perfect - hot days with brilliant skies, cool nights for hot parties, not to mention the famous food and wine at unbelievable prices. Add to this a superlative program of art, music, theatre, opera, dance, exhibitions, Adelaide Writer's Week (the largest literary festival in the world, and it's free), masterclasses, forums, open air events and a vibrant Fringe and you have quite an experience for travellers. The Adelaide Festival is a chance for everyone to leave ordinary life behind and celebrate, discuss , renew, and party.

Some of the world's best artists have contributed to the Adelaide Festival of Arts including: Pina Bausch, Peter Greenaway, Frida Kahlo, Steve Berkhoff, Les Ballets C de la B Batsheva Dance, Netherlands Opera, Meryl Tankard, DV8, Jordi Savall, Vikram Seth, Frankfurt Ballet, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, The Whirling Dervishes, Hotel Pro Forma, Jim Sharman, Barrie Kosky and Robyn Archer.

"As a two time participant, I can put my hand on my heart and witness that the Adelaide Festival is worth crossing the world for" Peter Brook
