This weekend, experience the classic cars of yesteryear at Bay to Birdwood, or plan your next holiday at the Phil Hoffmann Travel Expo.
Charming classic cars
Experience the timeless vehicles of the past this Sunday during the 2024 Bay to Birdwood motor rally. You can expect to see everything from the antique Ford Model T to the 1960s Dodge Phoenix and the 1970s Holden HQ Monaro. An estimated 90,000 fans will line the streets to watch more than 1500 classic and retro vehicles travel from Barratt Reserve in West Beach all the way to the National Motor Museum in Birdwood. Upon arrival at Birdwood, you can see the cars up close at the ticketed Bay to Birdwood Finish Festival, or travel back in time for the Fashions in the Field period fashion competition.
All that jazz
Jazz legend Herbie Hanock will be returning to Adelaide for one night only in October, performing the greatest hits from across his career, including Cantaloupe Island, Watermelon Man, Chameleon and Rockit. With 14 Grammys to his name and a career spanning seven decades, the genre-defying jazz pianist, composer and bandleader has played everything from bebop to post-bop, modal jazz, jazz fusion, jazz funk and electronic. On Sunday, October 20, he will take to the Festival Theatre stage for what could very well be his last time in Adelaide.
