in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Adelaide is a quiet city but at this time of year comes to life. Streets are buzzing with people of all ages...Adelaide's Fringe came to town. With 57 years long tradition Fringe became Southern Hemisphere’s largest, and Australia's biggest open access arts festival. If you haven't visited Adelaide this time of year is the best time to feel it's spirit.

The evening finished with laser light show. Every building was a canvas for hundreds of changing patterns and colors. One of the best on this parade of light was a colorful presentation of aborigines culture.

Wow, amazing photos. Australia always looked for me too distance exotic country. Looking at photos I understood that we are just a people and we all everywhere are the same.

Thank you dear. Maybe enviroment is different but people are same everywhere 😊.

My brother made it out there this evening, said it was a great atmosphere.

The Adelaide group (mallsballers) are getting together for a drink at 6pm this Thursday, 22nd.
Beer Garden of the Jade Monkey on Flinders St.
It'd be great to have you along :)

Yes, atmosphere was great... I would love to come but I don't think I would make it. Thanks anyway!

No worries. We meet every last Thursday of the month, so any time you're free, come on down :)

Thats pretty awesome mate. You should try to check out Stef Tisdell if you like comedy, I'm 99% sure she's performing down there for the first time this year.

That are some crazy outfits! :D

Yes, thats why I love this festival so much. Adelaide is really colorful this time of the year 😊.

Hiya, just swinging by to let you know that this post made the Honorable mentions list in today's #TravelDigest!

Opa that looks like a lot of fun. I really enjoyed reading your post. I hope that one day I'll get to visit your beautiful country that is so interesting. Few years ago I applied for a visa but my profession isn't on the list. But tourists are welcome 😎 and I love to travel so that is covered 😆😎

Thank you dear! Australia is different enough to be on the bucket list 😉
