Our top picks
AO26 Live with Channel 9 at Tumbalong Park
Get ready to feel the thrill of every ace and the drama of every match this summer. Watch the Australian Open (AO26) live and completely free at Tumbalong Park on the big screen.
Sydney Festival
Three exciting events come to Darling Harbour as part of Sydney Festival. Step into Observer, Observed, an art installation that flips perspective — peer through the binoculars to watch the public, but be prepared to become part of the spectacle yourself. Experience Save the Last Dance for Me, a hands on workshop to explore the Polka Chinata, a physically daring early 20th century courtship dance once exclusive to men. Then, celebrate half a century of creativity with Sydney Symphony Under the Stars, a magical night of music beneath the summer sky at Tumbalong Park.
Fireworks
These free, dazzling displays paint the harbour sky with vibrant colour, creating a magical atmosphere that's pure Sydney.
House of Pickle
