This weekend in Port Adelaide Enfield, the council lists six events with dates in 2026: the Semaphore Spree Op Shopping Tour, the Nunga Week Family Fun Day and ABBA 50 Years Arrival on Saturday 14 November, and Nunga Week at Yitpi Yartapuultiku, the Shine a Light Largs Bay Walk and the Semaphore steam train on Sunday 15 November. The Garage Sale Trail, which the organisers say is the last one ever, runs on both days.
This guide follows the council’s events list and each event’s page, all read on 9 November 2026. Each entry says only what the council’s page says; where a page is silent, we say so.

Nunga Week at Yitpi Yartapuultiku
Each November during Nunga Week the council celebrates traditional culture, art, knowledge, history and food, and in particular the First Nations Elders who live and work in the City of PAE. The Sunday event runs from 10am to 2pm at Yitpi Yartapuultiku, and the page points to the council’s dedicated Nunga Week page for the activities there. We have not listed individual activities for Sunday, because the event page does not.
Semaphore steam train
The green steam engine, which the council calls Bill, runs the 4 km return journey from Semaphore Jetty to Fort Glanville, crewed by the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide. The 2026 summer season started on Saturday 26 September and runs to Saturday 26 December. Trains depart every 45 minutes from 10:30am. After the school holiday period ended on Sunday 11 October, the council says the train runs every Sunday through to 26 December, then returns to daily services for the January school holidays.
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Group of up to 4 | $29 |
| Adults | $12 |
| Children aged 3 to 15 | $5 |
| Under 3s | Free |
The council says the train does not operate if Adelaide’s forecast temperature that morning is 33°C or higher, so check the forecast before you go. The page says more than 20,000 people ride the Semaphore Train each summer season. It does not give the last departure time or say where to park.
Shine a Light Largs Bay Walk 2026
Shine a Light on Lung Cancer is a national community awareness and fundraising campaign led by Lung Foundation Australia during Lung Cancer Awareness Month each November. The council lists the Largs Bay event as free, on Sunday 15 November from 4pm to 6pm at the grassed area of Largs Beach Foreshore Area 1, 1 Esplanade, Largs Bay. It brings together people affected by lung cancer to hear from speakers and to take part in a community lantern walk, and the council’s page links to more information.
What is the Garage Sale Trail?
The council describes Garage Sale Trail as Australia’s biggest secondhand treasure hunt. Sellers host garage sales or markets at their homes, schools, unit blocks, community halls and pubs, and shoppers follow the Trail. The council says Garage Sale Trail 2026 takes place on 7 to 8 and 14 to 15 November, and marks the final ever Garage Sale Trail event. The council’s events list shows it from 10am on 7 November to 5pm on 15 November. An interactive national map at garagesaletrail.com.au/sales lets you plot sales across the area. Registration to hold a sale is free. The page does not say which suburbs have the most sales.
What else is on around the Port this month?
The council also lists an exhibition, Sea Country to Safe Harbour, at Yitpi Yartapuultiku from 29 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. It is free, and the council says the centre is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on weekends and public holidays, excluding Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Good Friday. Later in November the council lists Fešta, the Croatian Food and Wine Festival, on Saturday 21 November; the Semaphore Street Fair on Sunday 29 November, covered in our guide to Semaphore Street Fair 2026 road closures and getting there; and the Port Adelaide Christmas Parade on Sunday 6 December, covered in our Port Adelaide Christmas Parade guide.
