Selected speech
Adelaide Festival Centre is a festival centre and our city prides itself on festivals all year round. We have cabaret festival, kids festival, French festival, guitar festival, indigenous festival, etc. For us, the context of this discussion the first time that Asia-Pacific creative cities come together, is within our OzAsia Festival, which has now been going for about 13 years and does look specifically, our connections in the region are connecting Australia to it.
