Adelaide Fringe 2027 runs from 19 February to 21 March 2027, with hundreds of shows across the city. In a campervan, stay at a holiday park and take the tram or bus in for the evening shows, then spend your days in the Barossa, McLaren Vale and on the Fleurieu Peninsula. March also brings WOMADelaide, so it's a great month to be in South Australia.

Why go by campervan
The Fringe runs for a month and most shows are in the evening, which leaves your days free. A campervan turns that into a road trip: a morning at a farmers market, an afternoon at the cellar doors or the beach, and back to the city for the shows. Adelaide is compact, so nothing is far away.
Where to stay in a campervan
Stay at a holiday park and leave the van there for the evening. Glenelg, by the beach, has a tram straight into the city centre, and there are parks closer in along the River Torrens. Parking in the city is tight in the evenings during the Fringe, and a campervan won't fit most car parks.
Day trips between shows
- Barossa Valley: the Saturday farmers market in Angaston, then cellar doors, about an hour away
- McLaren Vale: the Willunga Farmers Market on Saturday mornings and dozens of wineries, about 45 minutes south
- Fleurieu Peninsula: beaches at Port Willunga and Victor Harbor
- Adelaide Hills: Hahndorf and Stirling, about half an hour up the freeway
Make it a South Australia road trip
With more time, take the ferry to Kangaroo Island, head north to the Flinders Ranges, or drive the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne. Check your hire company's ferry and unsealed road rules first.
