What’s On in Adelaide This Month: Don’t Miss
Free Valentine’s Day Gelato at Messina
Valentine’s Day. That one day of the year that makes everyone feel something — love, excitement, mild panic, or the sudden urge to book a dinner that’s already sold out. We’ve got the solution: dessert. Specifically, free gelato.
On February 14th, Gelato Messina is giving locals a very good excuse to bring someone you love, like, or even just tolerate. Two people, two scoops, two spoons. That’s it. Your partner, bestie, Mum, sister — honestly, just show up with another human and claim your free scoop via the Messina app. Expect limited-edition flavours, long (but worth it) queues, and one perfectly indulgent way to end a date night or celebrate Galentine’s. Because Valentine’s might be about love, but let’s be real… it’s also about free gelato.
Kent Town & Glenelg
LIV Golf
The world’s best golf event is returning to Adelaide — bigger, bolder, and with four days of festival energy.

More action on the course means more time to soak up the signature LIV atmosphere, explore the Fan Village with immersive dining, the Johnnie Walker Clubhouse, and more, plus even bigger moments at Adelaide’s fan-favourite Party Hole. With the full concert lineup has been revealed — including a new Thursday opener and a major Saturday headliner — the 2026 edition is shaping up to be the most entertainment-packed yet.

Laneway Festival
Laneway Festival is back at the Adelaide Showground, bringing the vibes, the energy, and a seriously stacked lineup.

It’s the kind of day where you wander between stages, discover new music, and lose yourself in performances that range from intimate and soulful to full-on festival anthems. Doors open early afternoon and the music rolls straight into the evening, giving you hours of sun-soaked, bass-pumping, friends-in-the-crowd moments. And if you’re wondering how to make Valentine’s Day unforgettable, skip the cliché dinner and spend it dancing, singing, and discovering new music together — a date that’s equal parts fun, funky, and full of memories.

What’s On in Adelaide This Month: Coming Soon
Adelaide to Host First-Of-Its-Kind Off-Grid Music Festival
Adelaide is kicking off 2026 on a high, with the announcement of a brand-new music festival that puts the planet front and centre. Led by the Lime Cordiale brothers alongside triple j, Lime Green Festival is a passion project that has been quietly in the works for some time, built around environmental responsibility and climate action.
This fully off-grid, battery-powered festival is reimagining what live music can look like when sustainability comes first. Think big energy, great music and zero compromise on atmosphere, all while dramatically reducing the environmental footprint that usually comes with touring and large-scale events.
It is no surprise the festival is launching in Adelaide. With South Australia leading the way in climate action and a local crowd that is always hungry for more live music, the city felt like a natural fit. The event will take place at Point Malcolm Reserve, offering a breezy, open-air setting that perfectly complements the festival’s eco-first ethos.
The lineup brings together Lime Cordiale, The Dreggs, aleksiah, PASH, and a local triple j Unearthed winner, blending national favourites with emerging talent. Lime Green Festival lands on April 18th, 2026, with pre-sale tickets available from January 21st and general tickets on sale from January 23rd.
April 18th, 2026
Point Malcolm Reserve, 343 Military Road, Semaphore Park
Tickets available soon here.
