Sydney is alive with culture and entertainment in the holiday month of January.

Celebrating its 36th year as Australia’s largest arts festival, Sydney Festival is a bold celebration of the city’s energy, confidence and diverse culture.

A feast of music, dance and visual spectacles, over 300 performances and 80 events attract an audience of up to one million people over three weeks.

Festivities include the free annual Symphony in The Domain, international musicians, DJ sets, international theatre and dance and contemporary Indigenous arts.

Warm summer nights in the harbour city’s atmospheric Hyde Park and Botanic Gardens make Sydney Festival one of the most wonderful summer festivals in the world.
