South Australia has a fantastic events calendar with world-class sporting, arts, cultural and food and wine events, both in Adelaide and South Australia. 

Due to the better weather a lot of those events are clustered in the spring / summer period, which not only means that South Australians get out and about more, it also provides a more compelling reason for tourists to visit South Australia in that time. 

Executive Director, Events South Australia, Hitaf Rasheed joins Leith Forrest to discuss the impact events have on South Australia's economy, and how they are an important part of our Growth State agenda, on this week's 'Our State'.
