Event Information:
Adelaide is the scene for South
Australia's most spectacular
fireworks at the public new year’s
eve party in Elder Park. Dance to
party bands beneath the balmy summer
skies and sample a multicultural
array of food. For children and the
young-at-heart there are amusement
rides and special entertainers. At
the stroke of midnight, pyrotechnics
dance with dazzling force off
Victoria Bridge. The city also often
hosts new year’s celebrations in the
pretty port of Victor Harbor, south
of Adelaide, and the seaside town of
Beachport, on the Limestone Coast in
the state's south-east.
The
most popular New Year's Eve events
in Adelaide are the Lord mayors
Street Party at Elder Park, the
Adelaide NYE Fireworks off Victoria
Bridge and the New year’s
celebrations in the pretty port of
Victor Harbor. The Adelaide city
centre is the innermost locality of
Greater Adelaide, known by locals
simply as "The City" or "Town". The
locality is split into two key
geographical distinctions: the city
"square mile", bordered by North,
East, South and West Terraces; and
that part of the Adelaide Parklands
south of the River Torrens which
separate the built up part of the
city from the surrounding suburbs.
The locality is home to the
parliament of the state of South
Australia and many key state
government offices.
Adelaide is separated from its
greater metropolitan area by a ring
of public parklands on all sides.
The square mile within the parklands
is defined by a small area of high
rise office and apartment buildings
in the centre north, around King
William Street, which runs
north-to-south through the centre.
Surrounding this central business
district are a large number of
medium to low density apartments,
townhouses and detached houses which
make up the residential portion of
the city centre. The layout of
Adelaide, known as Light's Vision,
features a grid pattern of wide
streets and terraces and five large
public squares: Victoria Square in
the centre of the city, and
Hindmarsh, Light, Hurtle and
Whitmore Squares in the centres of
each of the four quadrants of the
Adelaide city centre.
