Eat, Pray, Love

Voila! The first ever weekend Fork on the Road and Damn the Man Night Market has just ended last Sunday (March 17). I am pretty sure that almost all the Adelaideans were there to savour the vast variety of food from our fellow mobile food truck vendors. The Depot has been really fascinating in bringing these two events together in conjunction of the last day of the Fringe Event! How many of you have enjoyed the accompaniments of food and music? Sure you do! 

Scratching your head to figure out who those places and terms are? Well, there is a little bit insights about them. The Fringe event is an annual open-access art festival which runs over 4 weeks in Adelaide during February and March. Its role is to support, encourage and facilitate registered artists, presenters and venues. In this way, artists and presenters can have the best possible experience, not to mention that audiences have the opportunity to be exposed by these amateur or professional artists. A great time to aggregate artists around South Australia as well as the globe. 

The Depot was originally an old bus depot at Franklin Street. Under the initiative of Splash Adelaide which aims to create a vibrant city of Adelaide, it has been turned into the Fringe's newest hub and performance venue. It has been a hive of activity for the past one month with various entertainment and food events. The good news is that the Depot will continue bring liveness to the city despite the end of Fringe event! It has also been nominated for The City of Adelaide Prize at this year's Architecture Awards. Well done!

Being one of the biggest food event in Adelaide, Fork on The Road has done a great job in bringing Adelaide food trucks, bikes and vans together for a food feast. It has also been included in UK renowned newspaper, Guardian on its list of highlights of Adelaide. 

I missed out on the previous Fork on The Road events so this time off, I will not let myself to miss it again! Hence, my Fork on The Road journey starts!
