Good to know
- Which dates does this Christmas page cover in Adelaide?
- This page is 1 Dec–26 Dec. The dates are worked out when the page renders, in Adelaide time, and they move forward once a day has passed. VibePeep currently lists 186 upcoming listings whose start date sits in this window.
- How does a listing get onto this page?
- Its start date has to fall inside 1 Dec–26 Dec. Cancelled listings are left off. A title that merely mentions christmas is not enough.
