The Adelaide Fringe is a magical time of the year, I'd personally be fine with switching out Easter and Valentine's Day in favour for extra Fringe time during February and March (And not only because I calorie-count chocolate and am seemingly extremely single).
Within the month lovingly dubbed "Mad March", it's easy to be swept up in the Glitterazzi and Glamour of where your weekends (and some more wild weekdays) take you. To avoid 4 weeks of woefully checking your bank account on Sunday mornings and swearing you're never spending that much or drinking wine again, take a gander of the 6 MUST-SEE FREE EVENTS DURING THE ADELAIDE FRINGE!
BY THE GLASS: LIVE PODCAST RECORDING
Interactive/Digital Media
I loooove a good podcast, and it seems Media Guru and Digital Journalist Chris, alongside Bar Manager of Clever Little Tailor, Ali, got just the right amount of buzz one night to follow through on By The Glass, (My drunken ideas on the other hand, never do) an entertaining and informative alcohol focused podcast.
This live podcast recording will discuss South Australian drinking culture by introducing a local alcohol producer each episode to discuss its history, the production process, and most importantly, the best way to enjoy the fine bevvys themselves.

FAT TUESDAY (ON A FRIDAY)
Public Event
Bringing the spirit and soul of Shrove Tuesday (pancakes) and Mardi Gras (partying), with inspiration of the New Orleans (more partying) French Quarter (way more pancakes), brought to you by NOLA Adelaide (amazing drinks), and The Pop-Up Co. (great parties), phew.
Get your ass down to Vardon Ave for live jazz bands, local DJ's, amazing East End vibes, and I'm sure what will be more than a few cocktails.
