Summer festivities
Summercrawl is a rite of passage for all young people (not just uni students!). It’s a pub crawl to celebrate the start of warmer weather. A ticket provides you with the iconic pub crawl shirt, free entry to any of the selected locations, and special drink deals to save some cash. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Summercrawl, so grab yourself a ticket and head down to Adelaide’s CBD on November 28.
Pop-up Pop-up is exactly that — a pop-up shop made entirely of pop-up books. The shop will have over 60 3D books available, on classic topics such as space, dinosaurs, animals, Egypt, and other curious oddities. Unleash your inner child on 15 November in Adelaide Arcade.
