Best Festivals in Sydney
The beautiful harbor of Sydney sparkles beneath a cloudless sky, the air is
filled with the aroma of sizzling sausages and sunscreen, and the city
reverberates with the infectious rhythm of live music. Festivals in Sydney
are like one big beach party that spills into the streets, with locals
everywhere and an endless celebration. With music festivals, theatre events,
races into the endless seas, and comedy festivals, Sydney is filled with
beauty and fun in and out. Now that you have your dance shoes, a sunhat, and
swimmers, it's time to experience Sydney's contagious energy and party like
a real Aussie!
1) Sydney Festival
Sydney has literally brought the world together every year for three weeks
with a city-wide celebration of culture and creativity since 1977! Pick any
street or beach, theatre or basement, and The
Sydney Festival
spreads around the city with more than 100 events from local and
international artists, including free and ticketed theatre, music, dance,
visual arts, and artist talks! It’s a celebration of Sydney and the world in
three weeks!
2) Vivid Sydney
When you see the city shimmering way too much, it’s because the largest
festival in Emerald City has come bearing happiness. During the
Vivid Sydney
festival, one month transforms with a fuse of art, innovation, and
technology with the help of extremely talented (insane) artists, musicians,
thinkers, and culinary experts of the time! With 3D light installations, the
urban city magically glows! It is the best time to visit Sydney!
3) Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
As exciting as a boat race sounds, the
Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
is one of the most difficult yacht races in the world. The historic
628-nautical mile race is an annual Boxing Day event that starts in Sydney,
South Wales and finishes in Hobart, Tasmania. It is a very competitive and
neck-to-neck race, and people take it too far to win! It’s one of the most
awaited festivals!
4) Handa Opera On Sydney Harbour
Let’s hand it over to Sydney to organize one of the most picturesque
harbourside settings with
Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour
. With an pop-up opera house, complete with bars, restaurants, and tiered
seating, it is a beautiful way to spend a splendid evening in the Emerald
City! A sparkling drink and sumptuous meal while performances steal your
hearts; indeed, it is worth every penny of yours!
5) Sydney Comedy Festival
Comedy comes naturally in Sydney because the
Sydney Comedy
Festival
brings all the laughter to the city every year. With 250 of the best
comedians from Australia, it features some of the finest acts with
international stars that we are sure you love dearly! You can see every
variety of acts that can make you laugh in this life, from sketch, satire,
improv, musical, and absurdist to theatre, magic, and kids' comedy!
