The Adelaide Fringe 2015 is one of the premium events in Adelaide with a program that is packed with performances every year. Last year we were so spoiled for choice that I found it quite difficult to choose which things to see, but it's always a plus to find free things to do in Adelaide during the festival.

The first of the free events is the spectacular sparkling Fringe Parade from North Terrace to Victoria Square, home of the Royal Croquet Club again this year. Held on the opening night Friday February 13, the Fringe parade starts at 8.30pm and it's an hour of colourful entertainment that delights the whole family.



The Fringe Funhouse in Rundle Mall is definitely the place to visit if you want a free taste of Fringe Festival shows. Every day during the festival there are free performances under the Gawler Place Canopy in Rundle Mall. If you like what you see, there's a ticket box located right there for you to book.

All of the major Fringe Hubs have free stuff to enjoy, from the Garden of Unearthly Delights to the Science Exchange and the Salisbury Secret Garden . There are food trucks to tempt you with exotic street food, amusement rides for the kids, and market stalls at many venues - plenty to do before taking in a show.



There are so many free things to do in Adelaide's Fringe that we have split them into categories for you. You're sure to find something to enjoy, leaving you some spare cash to spend at a starving performer's show.

Relax for a free romantic Evening Under the Stars on Valentines Day at Unley Soldiers Memorial Garden and Rotunda. It will be better than paying for an overpriced meal in a crowded restaurant!

On Saturday February 28 come to the lawns near the Adelaide Botanic Gardens restaurant for A Summer's Day Botanical . The renown band of the SA Police will present a free family concert of light classics and well known songs under the magnificent Moreton Bay fig trees - don't forget to bring your picnic baskets and a rug.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights is host to the BankSA Free Concert Series . The Garden is one of the best places to be during the Fringe - and they are all free events.
