Smiles, Beats & Treats – Festivals & Local Council Events in South Australia
South Australians are so fortunate to have access to fantastic festivals and events year-round, held in Adelaide and throughout country regions. These range from large festivals like the Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Festival and the Barossa Vintage Festival to local festivals such as Australia Day events, Christmas pageants and events that promote local produce.
Our local councils play a pivotal role in the process of planning, preparation, approval and promotion of these events. This includes:
- Providing and maintaining parks and gardens that host these events.
- Permit applications covering all aspects of event safety such as accessibility, food safety and waste disposal.
- Infrastructure like fencing, lighting and toilet facilities.
- Promotion of the events to communities.
- Festival grants for local community groups.
- Free council-run events for the community.
