A hugely popular music festival now held every year in March. People come here from all over Australia and overseas. It shows Adelaide at its very best.
WOMADelaide is an annual four-day festival of music, arts, and dance held in Botanic Park, Adelaide, South Australia which encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the music of cultures other than their own as a way of developing global understanding. The event is hosted by the WOMAD festivals organisation, which aims "to excite, to create, to inform and to highlight awareness of the worth and potential of a multicultural society", and is one of many WOMAD festivals held around the world. As well as presenting a selection of music from a wide range of countries and cultures, WOMADelaide also holds side events such as talks and discussions.
