The St Kilda beach area north of Adelaide has a steadily growing range of attractions. The St Kilda Tramway Museum with its magnificent collection of restored trams to see and ride. St Kilda adventure playground is packed with fun things to do for all ages, and a $3.5m refurbishment program is bringing even more activities for kids. And nearby the St Kilda Mangrove Trail and interpretive centre offers a more tranquil educational experience after a day of play.





If all that isn't enough, the Adelaide Flyaway Festival on Saturday October 17 will bring even more free things to do for St Kilda visitors. The festival celebrates the arrival of migratory shorebirds which come from as far away as Siberia and Alaska just to visit sunny South Australia. It's a part of National Bird Week, and we're being lured to learn all about it with a range of free family entertainment.



Here are some of the fun things to do on the day
  • work up an appetite with free cooking demonstrations by celebrity cook Callum Hann & dietician Themis Chryssidis from Sprout cooking school
  • follow the 2km shorebird nature trail and learn about the new Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary (wheelchair accessible)
  • see traditional Kaurna dance troupe performances
  • enjoy free live music
  • browse stalls from Birdlife Australia, the Vietnamese Farmers Association, Adventure Kayaking SA, Bird Tours SA, DEWNR Coastal Marine Team, and Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary
  • try spotting birds and native wildlife on the Mangrove trail



  • Of course there will be plenty of free activities for kids at the Adelaide Flyway Festival, or you wouldn't be able to tear them away from the adventure playground:
  • learn to juggle at free come-and-try workshops from Cirkidz Circus School
  • join in Kaurna cultural activities including traditional dancing, bird painting, and storytelling inside Kudlyo - the giant inflatable swan
  • nature play fun for kids include hunting for the critters that live in the mud that the birds feed on
  • free kite making workshops (11am-2pm)
  • collect stamps at shorebird nature trail stations to win prizes



  • With all those free things to do you'll develop an appetite quickly, and there will be a huge choice of food available from Wild at Hart market stalls. Think Red Lime Shack, Conscious Lifestyles, Barossa Valley Ice Cream, Haddo's Hotdogs, Gourmet Chocolate Brownies, Republic of Bacon BBQ, and Pure Fruit Smoothies to name just some of the food stalls that will tempt your tastebuds on the day.



    The Adelaide Flyway Festival takes place on the green reserve area adjacent to the St Kilda adventure playground from 10am until 4pm on Saturday October 17. Follow the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary page on Facebook to get more updates on the Adelaide Flyway Festival .
