Adelaide Fringe Festival

3/2/2011

0 Comments

 
February and March are busy in Adelaide. One of the biggest events is the Adelaide Fringe Festival, which is a celebration of the arts that last nearly a month. Adelaide's festival is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and the second largest in the world (Edinburgh has the biggest). For a couple of weeks, the city is flooded with visual art displays, comedians, carnivals, plays and more. Every year, the festival kicks off with a parade.

We didn't get to see it this year. These are the photos from last  year. Performers participate in the parade to promote their shows. I can't remember what any of these shows were, but enjoy the wacky costumes and floats!

In addition to the Fringe Festival last year, there was the Adelaide Festival of the Arts at the same time. There were light displays set up all over North Terrace that reflected onto the facades of the old buildings. It looked amazing.

North Terrace usually isn't busy on weekend nights, but I remember that the sidewalks were packed during this event. We could barely get from one building to the other without difficulty. These light displays happen every other year.

We've seen some great shows over the past two years. If we have time, we may see some other shows before the festival comes to an end. If you are in Adelaide and  haven't seen Phillip Escoffey's show, you MUST see it! It's called "Six More Impossible Things Before Dinner". I can't tell you too much about it, because it will spoil it for you. 

The Festival ends March 13. 

Well, I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'm going to work tomorrow. I went home early from work sick on Monday, and I haven't been back since then. I am still very nauseated and have a terrible headache, so it's hard to sit through a full day of work when I feel so terrible. I got a blood test today, so I should hear back tomorrow if it's some more obscure virus. I'm supposed to attend two of Grumpy's several birthday parties this weekend, so I need to get better!

    I am  a Chicago-based Registered Dietitian working primarily in Acute Clinical Care. I started this blog in 2010, before I even knew that I wanted to be an RD! Now, as an active dietitian, this blog will become part of my life again. Read about my current healthy habits, but please peruse my old posts (from 2014 and before) to read about life as an RD student and my previous years in Australia!
