Highlights of What's On in Adelaide in April
If you're not too drained after the festivities of Mad March, you'll find plenty of fun things to do coming up in April. The Easter holiday long weekend is jam-packed with family activities in Adelaide, and we've got a special section dedicated just to them.

One of our favourite outdoor activities over Easter is the Adelaide International Kite Festival on Semaphore beach which is huge fun for kids. Meanwhile, over at Ayers House Museum, the Age of Elegance Exhibition has just launched, a stunning immersive fashion installation in one of Adelaide's most beautiful heritage homes. It's an exciting teaser to this year's Australian Heritage Festival which begins on April 18.



Things to Do on the Easter Holidays Long Weekend
Suggested Easter activities from our writers include:



What's On in Adelaide - Free Things to Do in April
Get help with fixing your household treasures at South Australia's first repair cafe in Adelaide, soon to be joined by the Unley Repair Cafe. While you're in the city don't miss the free Heirloom Festival weekend at Adelaide Botanic Gardens, and the Peoples' Choice Rose Awards next to the Bicentennial Conservatory.

Houndwave 2 is a fun music festival for you and your dog in Adelaide's west end with lots of freebies, or head to Glenelg for the free Thai Songkran Festival and Stirling East for their country fair. Other free events in April are a unique Kids' Market and the Government House Open Day at the end of the month.



Not Free, but Fun Things to Do in Adelaide
Colour your life with Autumn garden shows, the Impressionist Masterpieces Exhibition at the Art Gallery or a collection of colourful stones at Gemboree. Senior citizens will also love the Young at Heart Film Festival.

Chill out at Murray Bridge with family fun at Floatfest 2018 where you will find plenty of activities for kids. If you have time, wander the historical relics along the wharf front at Murray Bridge heritage precinct.

From an organ recital to the Hot Dub Time Machine, and Frankenstein at the theatre, arts lovers won't be short of fun things to do in April. Kids can be enthralled by tea with a princess at one of the amazing castles of Adelaide.



Other Exciting Things to See and Do in Adelaide
The Easter long weekend is the best time to get away for a short holiday in South Australia. Make a day trip to Victor Harbor and Granite Island, then have lunch at Port Elliott. Spend the weekend sightseeing special places on Yorke Peninsula. Take a short break on the Limestone Coast where there's so many things to see and do, or why not visit Melrose and Mount Remarkable to see the awesome natural beauty of our Flinders Ranges.

You might even be able to solve an old mystery in country SA. Even if you don't, you can see some iconic sights of fascinating South Australian history in the mid-North.
