Adelaide’s reputation as a festival city has been bolstered by an invitation to join the inaugural International Festivals City Network. The invitation came at a two-day program of meetings, workshops and presentations between Festivals Adelaide – the alliance of Adelaide’s 10 major arts festivals – and other international festival city representatives at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival.
As the only Australian festival city represented in the group, Adelaide will join Barcelona, Krakow, Montreal, Berlin and Edinburgh in the world’s first formalised network of Festival Cities.
