Another month means another season closer to summer (yay!).  We've endured the winter months and now it's time to welcome Spring with open arms.  Here are 7 reasons why spring really rules.

1. Surf's up

Sun's out, boards out!  Although waves may be smaller than those during the autumn winter months, you can at least now ditch the long wetsuits and get back to making the most of the warmer weather that's on its way.

2. Melbourne Cup Day

Let's dress to impress, and welcome the annual Melbourne Cup.  Whether you're actually in Melbourne or not, make the most of this glorious public holiday.  Book a meal out with friends at one of the many restaurants that get into the cup carnival spirit, or throw a beach party with your closest friends (it's basically summer by then). ‌

3. Adelaide Zombie Walk

It's coming up to that time of year where it's totally acceptable to dress up in a costume and walk down the road with hundreds of other people dressed up in a costume, oh yeah, Halloween.  The Adelaide Zombie Walk takes place on the 15th of October to raise awareness and funds for Foodbank SA.  So if you haven't made any plans that Saturday, dig out your fake blood and join the 15,000 others on this Zombie walk. ‍

4. Sporting finals

Spring brings us some pretty big sporting finals including the Australian Football League Grand Final in Victoria on 3rd October and the National Rugby League Grand Final in New South Wales on 4th October.  Sports fans you're going to have a field day!

5. Festival Season Is Coming!

My favourite time of the year is finally here, festival season!  From dance music festivals such as Listen Out which is hosting a range of DJ's including DJ sets from Gorgon City (yaas!) to A Day On The Green in November where we can sit back in the grass and take in headliners such as The Temper Trap.  We're particularly looking forward to getting our groove on this year! ‌

6. Celebrating dad

The start of spring is basically marked by a certain parent's day.. Father's Day! If you're not sure what to buy your Dad this year, have a go at our Father's Day quiz and see what you should buy him based on his favourite food.

7. School Year Is Almost Over

It's been a great school year, but we're finally ready to say "see ya" and enjoy the summer months ahead.  Spring is basically like the last check point before you break up, so make the most of those months you have left and enjoy every moment of them!
