Sydney Festival

Sydney Festival showcases our nation’s diverse storytellers to the world, whilst drawing the world’s finest artists to Sydney.

Step into Observer, Observed, an open 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, where a once-lost dance of strength and virility is reimagined as a moving expression of intimacy and trust. 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 — marking 50 years of Sydney Festival in spectacular style.
