Sydney Festival

Sydney Festival is Australia's largest and most attended annual cultural event. Its vast array of indoor and outdoor presentations attracts an estimated 1.5 million people annually. The Festival is a cultural celebration of Sydney in summer and has become synonymous with the energy, style, spectacle, sophistication and cosmopolitan flair which so quintessentially define the city. It showcases an eclectic range of homegrown and international talent.

This massive cultural extravaganza is one of Australia's largest and most popular happenings. As well as the much- heralded outdoor program including the Domain concerts which each attract an audience in excess of 100,000 people the Festival presents the very best international and national performing and visual arts, occupying most of Sydney's theatres, galleries and concert halls, as well as specially created satellite venues throughout the city and surrounds.

You can attend forums and seminars on a variety of philosophical and arts- related topics. One of the regular highlights is the series of outdoor concerts held each Saturday evening in the Domain.

The Festival has generated dozens of Australian commissions and world premieres, many of which have toured internationally. Sydney Festival was named Best Major Event for 2005 in a glittering awards ceremony at Star City Hotel and Casino in Sydney last night..
