Adelaide is the third most liveable city in the world. As a UNESCO City of Music, Adelaide has an international reputation for its dynamic city culture with year-round cultural festivals, street performances, public art, live music, and cultural programs. Artists, musicians, and artisans are an essential part of city life enabling healthy, diverse and prosperous communities through their work.
