South Australia has the reputation of "Festival State", and it is the host of many important celebrations, such as the biennial international art festival, wine festival and horse racing festival. From all kinds of sports events, cultural performances, to all kinds of food and wine appreciation, it is also the best platform to understand local folk customs, cultural elements and integrate with local Australian life.
