Gather Round 2025: Adelaide Transforms into a Footy and Festival Wonderland
If you thought the AFL Gather Round was just about what happens on the field, think again. Adelaide is absolutely buzzing as Gather Round 2025 rolls in, and let me tell you — the energy around the city is electric. Even if you don’t have a ticket to one of the games, you won’t be left out of the action. The off-field entertainment this year is next level, giving fans the chance to get up close and personal with the stars of the game and soak in a festival atmosphere like no other.
Imagine this: a four-day celebration where all 18 AFL clubs are playing in South Australia, and the footy party spills out far beyond the stadiums. From Adelaide Oval to Norwood and even out to Lyndoch in the beautiful Barossa Valley, the entire state is joining in on the action. The Premier himself, Peter Malinauskas, is already pushing to keep this event in SA for years to come — and honestly, who can blame him?
