After a challenging couple of years, South Australia\u2019s events scene is seeing signs of recovery with strong attendance figures and a vibrant, year-round events calendar set to draw visitors from far and wide.

We\u2019re just finishing up the Illuminate Adelaide festival in the city \u2013 and we\u2019ve just launched the Mt Gambier event last week, and for the first time the event will head to Victor Harbor later this month. Last week also saw the launch of the Valo Adelaide 500 \u2013 which returns to the city streets in December this year.\xa0

Finally, the Santos Tour Down Under will make a bold return in January 2023 after a two-year hiatus, bringing the world\u2019s best cyclists to our state and opening the international cycling season.

Later this month we have a massive Wallabies test match double header at Adelaide Oval. To discuss upcoming major events, this episode hears from the SATC\u2019s Executive Director of Events South Australia, Hitaf Rasheed and Andrew Kellaway from the Australian Wallabies.\xa0
