Valentine's Day - Fringe

In Adelaide there's a massive festival going on in February called The Fringe. Basically it's a bunch of rides and little stands all gathered in a park which had been decorated beautifully, and then for about 2-3 weeks I think, people come and go and watch performers and artists and dancers - even comedians.
There's a lot going on, I'm not even sure what it's all about to be honest. 
Everybody is looking forward to it though. 

So tonight, valentines day, was the opening parade. Throughout the city there was loud music and a parade if different performers dancing and holding up signs and people playing with fire, 
It was quite cool, unfortunately there was a bunch of people so I couldn't quite get a good look.






Afterwards we went to The Garden of Unearthly Delights, which is the park where the Fringe is being held.
Turns out the opening parade turned into a street party, and wasn't actually gonna end at the park. So we missed out on the street party and fireworks, which was pretty much the only reason I showed up.
But oh well, I'll see some fireworks another time. 

The park looks amazing, and there's so many stands already :-)
