The Mount Pleasant Show
The main hall
The Annual Mount Pleasant Horticultural and Agricultural Show has been held for over 150 years, and is a staple on the South Australian Show Calendar. Although last year’s cancellation was a great blow to our community, the Show Society held a successful one this year and will continue to do so.
The Mt Pleasant Street Party & Parade
Held every year on the first Saturday in December for over thirty years, the Parade and following Street Party are hugely popular, and the community comes together to celebrate and enjoy the festivities.
Father Christmas is always a welcome sight.
Crowds of up to a thousand have attended the parade and party.

Red Cross Garden Party
Held every February for nearly thirty years, the Glen Devon Garden Party is hosted by the Red Cross in the magnificent grounds of Glen Devon, owned by Hugh and Fiona MacLachlan.
For almost all of that time, our special guest speaker has been the wonderful Sophie Thomson - gardening presenter on Gardening Australia - and a fount of all knowledge regarding gardens and the plants and animals that inhabit them. The event is scheduled for 15th February next year.
