AFL Gather Round brings footy fans from across the country to Adelaide, turning the city into a celebration of the game, great food and electric atmosphere. With matches played across the city and fans filling the streets in team colours, it’s a weekend that blends sport, entertainment and community spirit. Between games, you’ll find lively crowds, pop-up experiences and plenty of places to eat, drink and soak up the buzz.
It’s also one of the best times to explore the city. From the shopping and street energy of Rundle Mall right outside the hotel to the iconic matchday atmosphere at Adelaide Oval, everything is within easy reach. Whether you’re heading to a game, catching up with friends or exploring Adelaide between kick-offs, the city feels vibrant, social and easy to enjoy at your own pace.
Staying at ibis Adelaide keeps you right in the middle of the action. Step outside to the city’s best shopping, dining and entertainment, then head back to relax in modern, comfortable rooms designed for easy stays.
