Where african Adelaide happens
Adelaide's African community gathers around Salisbury, Elizabeth, and Para Hills - Sudanese, South Sudanese, Eritrean, Liberian, Burundian and Congolese families who came through the humanitarian intake and built community from there. The African Communities Council of South Australia anchors Independence Day celebrations at the Festival Centre, and weekend cultural nights run through community halls in Pooraka and Ferryden Park. South Sudanese wedding receptions at the Adelaide Convention Centre bring 1500 people together. Ethiopian coffee houses on Hindley Street, Nigerian Owambe celebrations at the Polish Hall, Pan-African Gospel services across Modbury. Adelaide Fringe always picks up at least one African comedy or music act each March. EventLinqs is built for Adelaide African organisers running cultural events that have shaped the city's most diverse postcodes.
