As the name suggests, this is THE festival event of Sydney’s calendar. Over the month of the festival, you’ll find something to suit all tastes. Here are some of the highlights.

Festival First Night
On the first night of the festival, the city is transformed into a playground, and you can see some of the festival’s best acts all for free!

Beck’s Festival Bar
The Hyde Park Barracks Museum becomes a great live music venue for 14 nights of the festival. Entry is free after 11.30pm. Get there early though – it’s super popular!

Festival Garden
If you’re up for something a bit whacky, visit the Famous Spiegeltent in Hyde Park gardens – a host of bizarre musical and theatrical acts await your attention!
