What to do in SA this weekend
From Feast Festival to Melbourne Cup at The Kitchen, there is plenty to see and do in SA this coming week.
Melbourne Cup at The Kitchen
November 3
See the race that stops the nation in style as SALIFE and the Jodi Lee Foundation partner to present this unforgettable event at The Kitchen at SkyCity. SALIFE fashion editor Emma Riemersma hosts Fashions Off the Field with prizes including a luxurious stay at Eos by SkyCity and dining experiences. Tickets are $199 and include a glass of bubbles on arrival and a four-course lunch with curated beverage pairings and a portion of the proceeds support the Jodi Lee Foundation. The Melbourne Cup is also broadcast live across the venue.
Feast Festival
November 1-22
This bold celebration of queer art, culture and community returns to brighten up South Australia this month. Local, interstate and international artists come together to present across a range of genres including burlesque, drag, visual art, spoken word, comedy, film, music and dance. Feast favourite Picnic in the Park also returns on Sunday, November 22, closing the festival with a day of live music, workshops, market stalls, food, drinks and the popular Feast Dog Show. See the program for the full list of Feast events across Adelaide and Regional South Australia.
Adelaide Italian Festival
November 1-22
Returning for its milestone 50th year, this beloved festival takes a trip down memory lane with all the favourites and traditional Italian fare. This year’s program is extended and kicks off with San Remo’s La Grande Gita in McLaren Vale. After a two-year hiatus, the Italian Food Festival returns to deck out the East End in green, white and red – expect pop-up food vendors, live music and entertainment, and activities for the kids. If you’re after something more refined, indulge in La Tavolata at Enoteca – a long lunch with paired wines and live entertainment.
Walk with a Pal
November 1
Join HAS Foundation to walk for a cause this month. It is approaching 12 years since founders of the organisation Ella and Jarrod Stratton lost their son Hunter to a life-limiting illness and they now invite others who might have someone they’d like to remember or to walk for to join the annual trek from Henley Beach to Grange. The event welcomes prams, wheelchairs and even four legged friends to show support for those in palliative care and to connect and reflect. Register for the event through HAS Foundation’s website.

This year’s finalists are honoured and award winners are celebrated in an unforgettable evening at Peter Lehmann Winery where the 2026 Agricultural Town of the Year will also be announced – an award that recognises communities demonstrating excellence in agricultural leadership while being outstanding places to live, work and travel.
Catch Me If You Can
November 5-7
Follow young con artist Frank Abagnale Jr as he is pursued by FBI agent Carl Hanratty – a chase that forges an unlikely connection between the two men. This adaptation of the hit 2002 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio is the inaugural production by brand new South Australian musical theatre company Full Circle Theatre Co. Expect big vocals and a live band staged in the style of a 1960s variety television show. Directed by Jo Casson and starring an all South Australian cast including Joey Haenen, Rod Schultz, Michael Griffiths and Michaela Burger, Catch Me If You Can is showing at Futures Theatre in Paradise.
Liquor Barons

As of October 12, you can shop the independent retailer with stores spread across South Australia, from Tea Tree Gully to Yankalilla, and everything in between.
