A Vibrant Saturday in the City

Adelaide is buzzing this Saturday, February 14, 2026, with a vibrant mix of music, cultural festivals, and community markets. Whether you are celebrating Valentine's Day with a special someone or simply looking to soak up the peak of the summer season, the city and surrounding hills have a diverse range of activities to offer. From the high-energy stages of Wayville to the relaxed atmosphere of the Adelaide Hills, there is something for everyone to enjoy today.

Major Music and Culture Festivals

The headline event for the day is the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival at the Adelaide Showground in Wayville. Running from 1:00 pm until late into the evening, this iconic music festival has drawn a massive crowd to witness a stellar international and local lineup. Featured artists include Chappell Roan, Alex G, Cavetown, and Wet Leg. It is the premier destination today for contemporary music fans looking for a full day of live performances across multiple stages.

For those seeking a community-focused cultural experience, the Norwood Greek Festival is also in full swing. Located at the Greek Orthodox Community and Parish of Prophet Elias in Norwood, this celebration offers traditional music, spirited dancing, and a wide array of authentic Mediterranean cuisine. It is a fantastic opportunity for families to gather and enjoy the rich heritage of Adelaide's Greek community.

Markets and Local Produce

If you are in the mood for a morning drive, the Oakbank Market in the Adelaide Hills is open from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. This local favorite features world-class produce, unique handcrafted jewelry, and artisanal gifts. It is an ideal spot to support local creators and pick up fresh ingredients for a weekend feast.

Back toward the coast, the Asia Oasis Street Food Festival continues its residency at Jimmy Melrose Park in Glenelg. Running through until next weekend, the festival offers an immersive culinary journey through Asia with dozens of food stalls serving everything from spicy street snacks to traditional desserts, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Gulf St Vincent.

Public Exhibitions and Cinema

For a more reflective afternoon, the Art Gallery of South Australia is hosting the "Touching the Divine: Love and Devotion in Asian Art" exhibition. This free display explores spiritual traditions and the aesthetics of devotion through rare sculptures and paintings from across Asia. Additionally, the South Australian Museum is showcasing "Creatures of the Palaeozoic," a fascinating look at 500-million-year-old fossils from Kangaroo Island brought to life through vibrant scientific illustrations.

As evening falls, the Moonlight Cinema in Botanic Park provides a perfect outdoor setting for a movie under the stars. With today being Valentine’s Day, it is a popular choice for those looking to enjoy a romantic picnic while watching a featured film in one of Adelaide’s most picturesque parklands.
