Kids and adults alike can enjoy free performances throughout The Garden’s many bars and outdoor areas. And you’ll also have the opportunity to be the first to try The Garden’s first dine-in restaurant, Roberta’s Italian Disco Diner! It’s a traditional piazza party experience with red and white checkered tablecloths, fiasco chianti wine bottles, and Italo Disco tunes from some of Adelaide’s best DJs all month long.

Plus, there are dozens of rides, sideshows, and market stalls that you won’t find anywhere else at the Fringe!
