What’s On in Adelaide This Weekend: Our Adelaide Editor’s Top 5 Picks

We’ve got another warm weekend ahead in Adelaide, so buckle up for sunshine-filled days before daylight savings comes to an end.

It’s easy to have fun when you know what’s happening around town, and the city offers a range of experiences to cater to every taste and budget. Whether you’re in the mood for live music, rooftop drinks with the girls, a day of winery hopping, cooling off at the beach or finding a delicious bite to eat, this lovable city has no shortage of activities and activations.

Struggling to make concrete plans? We’re here to help! Here’s our editor’s guide to what’s on in Adelaide this weekend, highlighting the top five things we’re adding to our calendars. We don’t gatekeep!

A Taste of the Hills

One weekend, so much wine. A Taste of the Hills is returning for its 2025 season, this time transforming Hay Valley’s Lot.100 into a marketplace of the producers, winemakers, brewers, experiences and creatives that make the Adelaide Hills so special. Make the most of everything being within easy reach and at one place – choose from over 50 tasting stalls, sign up for a masterclass with Simon Tolley Wines, blend your own gin with 78 Degrees, Sip & Paint with Brushflicks, hop on a scenic helicopter flight, take a paella cooking class with Comida, or simply enjoy a few glasses of wine and an epic lineup of live entertainment. However you choose to get your taste, you’ll leave wanting more… and counting down to the same time next year.

March 29th – 30th

68 Chambers Road, Hay Valley

Second Life Markets

Feeling the pinch, but still want to look cute? Second Life Markets has your back. Setting up shop at The Market Shed on Holland Street this Sunday, more than 50 curated stallholders will be on-site selling expertly sourced vintage wares, pre-loved clothing and unique accessories. Do your bit to shop sustainably (and save a buck while you’re at it) and find pieces for your wardrobe you won’t see elsewhere. Second Life Markets are stopping in Adelaide only twice this year, so you don’t want to miss this!

Radical Textiles

It’s your last chance to check out Radical Textiles at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA), the stunning exhibition celebrating the rich diversity of contemporary art through tactile and sensory experiences. Featuring works from multiple talented artists, the exhibition explores themes of texture, materiality, and cultural narratives, inviting visitors to engage with art in dynamic and unexpected ways. Celebrating cutting-edge innovation and enduring traditions, this exhibition is one to marvel at – fashion-lover or not. But be quick, it’s only open for a few more days.

Open to March 30th

AGSA, North Terrace, Adelaide

Sister Act: The Musical

A must-see musical is lighting up Adelaide’s Festival Centre with pure joy, infectious energy and a seriously impressive cast. Starring Casey Donovan, Genevieve Lemon and Rhonda Burchmore, Sister Act is the brilliant musical adaptation of the iconic, globally successful 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg. Following the story of Deloris Van Cartier (played by Donovan) as she is made to act as a nun in a witness protection program, the story is given a new spin with a Motown-inspired soundtrack by Tony® and Oscar®-winner Alan Menken. Award-winning for a reason, this musical is a showstopper from start to finish.

Golden Times at Down the Rabbit Hole

If you’re across the most Instagram-worthy venues in and around Adelaide, there’s a high chance you’ve spotted the gorgeous set-up at Down the Rabbit Hole. Led by a team passionate about quality wine, good company and laidback vibes, the winery is set in a stunning landscape with a relaxed ambience and the infamous, sky blue decker bus. The cellar door is open for casual drop-ins and tasty pizza over the weekend, but if you’re looking for the ultimate end-of-week activity, Golden Times has you covered.

Kicking off at 5:30pm on Fridays, gather the gang and arrive early to snag the best spot on the lawn or the deck for an evening of live acoustic music, pasta, cheeseboards, great wine and great times.

Fridays from 5:30pm, walk-ins only.

A Melbourne native, Kelly has spent the past two years getting well acquainted with her new home in Adelaide—one great glass of wine and even better meal at a time. As Sitchu’s Adelaide Editor, she’s your go-to for the city’s best eats, must-attend events, and hidden gems beyond the CBD. When she’s not rounding up the best of SA, she’s likely at Pilates, exploring a new winery (for research purposes, of course), reading on her Kindle, or out on a long walk with a millennial podcast in her ears.
