Adelaide Italian Festival

High in the Adelaide Hills, the National Motor Museum’s outstanding collection of automobilia stretches back to the very dawn of the motor age. Antiques and unique one off vehicles sit alongside classic designs that rolled off the production lines around the world (including Holden’s Elizabeth plant), while displays explain how the evolution of auto design and Australia’s social history are irrevocably intertwined.

Generations of home cooks and renowned chefs alike have roamed the aisles of the Adelaide Central Market since it first opened over 150 years ago. Listen to buskers competing with vendors hawking their wares, breathe in the aroma of freshly ground spices and glistening seafood and marvel at the dazzling array of foods on offer at the 70 stalls selling fresh produce from around the state and cuisines from across the globe.

But don’t stop there! Go and meet gardeners who grow your vegetables along with farmers raising chickens and cows, artisan cheesemakers and bakers presiding over cabinets of exquisite pies and pastries at one of the many farmers’ markets around Adelaide. The largest and most convenient market is the Sunday Morning Adelaide Farmers’ Market, while there are regional markets in Willunga, the Barossa and the Adelaide Hills for those seeking further adventure.
