UNESCO International Jazz Day
With the Zela Margossian Quintet, Ciara Louise Ferguson, and the premiere of Adelaide Edition.
Special Event
1 date
Celebrate Australia’s first flavours with legendary Bundjalung chef Mark Olive, acclaimed star of The Outback Cafe and celebrity judge on SBS's The Chefs' Line, in a culinary and cultural journey at Adelaide Festival Centre on the banks of the Karrawirra Parri – Red Gum River.
Olive will showcase his 25+ years of expertise through a spectacular four-course dinner celebrating Australia's first flavours. In the spirit of Olive’s Sydney restaurant, Midden, the menu draws on his masterful fusion of native ingredients with contemporary cuisine, where each dish tells a story of land and culture.
Complementing the menu, Munda Wines founder and proud Wirangu and Kokatha man Pauly Vandenbergh, will share carefully selected wine pairings that honour the unique Indigenous lands across Australia. Each wine, like Munda’s celebrated Wadandi Boodja Chardonnay or Wurundjeri Country Pinot Noir, embodies a connection to country and reflects the stories and heritage of the Traditional Owners. Guests can also enjoy performances by local musicians and immerse themselves in the finest First Nations visual art presented by Adelaide Festival Centre’s OUR MOB.
