Finding free school holidays activities in Adelaide can be a bit hit and miss. Fortunately the April school holidays overlap with National Youth Week in South Australia, and there are a fistful of free things to do for young people all about SA.

This year the theme of National Youth Week is My Community is Your Community, highlighting the cultural diversity of South Australia. People have been working around the state to create a program of fun things to do for young people aged between 12 - 25 years old.



If you want to get a head start on Youth Week you can enter the Multicultural Youth SA (MYSA) street art competition already. Your street art must relate to the Youth Week theme, MYSA supply the materials free of charge, and the winner receives a prize of $250.

There are so many fun things to do for Youth Week all about South Australia that we can only give you a sample. Here are a few of the highlights, but go to the Office for Youth website to see the full list for your area. Be sure to also check
  • which are school holidays activities (some are not)
  • whether there is a cost
  • which activities need booking in advance
  • the age range applicable to the event
  • whether there are special requirements such as a parental release



  • The City of Mitcham is offering a series of free things to do in April. Join in a free skate park competition at the Avenue Road Skate Park and win a prize. Come to a cosplay night wearing the costume of your favourite character and win a prize. Or join in free workshops teaching Filmmaking on an Ipad, Henna Hand Decoration, or Theatre Skills. See their web page for info but remember you must book early.

    In the Onkaparinga Council area come to the Awesome Anime Club at Noarlunga Library, do a Dye Workshop at the Hub Library, or come to the Youth Week Festival at the Seaford Recreation Centre and Skate Park. More deets on Facebook



    Over at sunny Salisbury come to a Comics Lab with Georgina Chadderton to learn the tricks of the trade. The Northern Youth Arts Market hosted by young people will feature local youth music and the opening of an art exhibition. Try body art, experiment in a photo booth, join in interactive art activities and taste delicious food from market stalls. Web link here .

    Tea Tree Gully is the place to be for a free Youth Enterprise Bootcamp, a professional development opportunity for young emerging artists (catering provided). Bookings are essential - head to the Office for Youth website to find how.



    The Charles Sturt council has a free Youth Film-making workshop for teenagers 14-18 years old. Learn the art of film making from experts, and create your own one minute movie. Lunch and refreshments are provided free but bookings are essential.

    Head to the Adelaide Hills for the Adelaide Hills Council National Youth Week Kick-off. Come and hang out on the Stirling Library lawns from 3:30pm on April 8, with a free BBQ and lots of fun activities for kids.
