WOMADelaide
What? The WOMAD - ‘World of Music, Arts & Dance’ festival was co-founded in the UK by Peter Gabriel and was first presented in Australia as WOMADelaide in 1992. Since then it has gone onto become one of Australia's favourite outdoor festivals and in 2010 it attracted 81,500 attendences over four days (not including children under 12, who are admitted free).
The program features performances and workshops on seven stages by some of the world's best musicians, dancers and DJs, alongside street theatre and visual artists, the popular Taste the World cooking program, Artists in Conversations sessions and an All-Star Gala finale, together with around 100 food, crafts and display stalls and KidZone for children.
The Festival Australia crew have been many times. Love it & pretty kid friendly if Adelaide is not putting on 40 degrees plus!
