Sydney Festival is the city’s flagship summer arts festival, running across January with a program of theatre, dance, music, outdoor performance and free events spread across venues in the CBD and beyond.
What to Expect
- A mix of free outdoor events and ticketed theatre, dance and music performances
- Venues spread across the CBD, including Hyde Park, Barangaroo and Sydney Town Hall precincts
- Program typically announced in the preceding spring, with tickets on sale from around October
- Family-friendly free events alongside more adult-focused ticketed shows
Because the full program isn’t locked in far ahead, it’s worth checking the official site from around October each year for the coming January’s lineup and exact dates.
