1. Light Up 2022 in Rymill Park/Murlawirrapurka
Brought to us by the team behind Gluttony, the Murlawirrapurka/Rymill Park in Adelaide’s East End will be host to the family-friendly event, Light Up 2022 from 6pm until 1am. As well as the fireworks, there’ll be live music, a spread of entertainment across multiple stages, interactive activities, and South Australia’s most sought-after food trucks, vendors and pop-up bars.
Catch the city fireworks with two displays – one for the early birds at 9:30pm and again at midnight to start 2023 with a bang. Although Light Up 2022 is a free event, it is indeed ticketed for a limited capacity.

There’ll be a bunch of free, family-friendly entertainment on the cards which will kick off at 7pm right on the sands of Glenelg beach.
