YESTERDAY the South Australian Tourism Commission showcased its events calendar for 2012 at a function in Sydney hosted by Adelaide Fringe Ambassador, entertainer Bob Downe.
South Australia will next year hold a plethora of events, incl the long-running Adelaide Festival of the Arts which will now take place every year.
On the musical front there’s also WOMADelaide and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival which will be headed up by Aussie songstress Kate Ceberano.
And sport is also a key feature of the calendar, with the year kicking off with the Santos Tour Down Under cycling race, plus the Australian Swimming Championships and the Clipsal 500 motor racing in Mar.
Kangaroo Island will host a Surf Music Festival and of course on the culinary side there’s Tasting Australia and the Feast Festival.
