What is RCC 2021?
RCC is a month-long activation of Victoria Square / Tarntanyagga, with three areas of focus within the event site – The Stables, Utopia and Chow Town. If the Option B proceeds, the site will be registered as an Adelaide Fringe 2021 venue.

The ticketed venue within the site will be Utopia, an immersive creative space that incorporates light, music, installation and performing art in a heavily designed space.
Chow Town will be a local selection of South Australian produce, working with existing South Australian operators to provide a diverse food and beverage offering.
