Why:
WOMADelaide is an inspiring mix of ancient and modern, where centuries-old traditional music sit side-by-side with the latest club sounds. Established in 1992, the festival has experienced soaring success and a permanent extension to a new four-day format introduced in 2010.
While its seven stages annually boast Australian exclusives from superstars from around the world, the WOMADelaide experience is not about the familiar, the tried and the tested; its essence is in the discovery and enjoyment of totally unexpected artists or a style of music which would never otherwise have been encountered.WOMADelaide is a rare festival experience that can deliver delight for every age and taste.

Wear:
March can be very hot but the festival has also had rain and cold weather too so bring your hat, sunscreen and poncho just in case.
Wow:
With an incredibly beautiful setting, artist workshops, artist cooking presentations, innovative visual arts elements, roving artists and over 100 international food and market stalls, what happens off stage is as important to the awe-inspiring atmosphere as the incredible music and dance on stage. There is no other festival in Australia like WOMADelaide.
