Events to catch in Sydney – my top picks!

The really cool thing about Sydney is how events abound every weekend (and even on weekdays), which means no matter what happens, there’s always something interesting for you to check out! For me, the site I usually check is Concrete Playground which lists out all the available events coming up!

Some of my favorite events in Sydney are…

 

Vivid Sydney

This is the city’s annual festival of light, music and ideas. Alas, I missed it. Instead, I was treated to Badu Gili which explores ancient Aboriginal stories through sail light projections on the Sydney Opera House!

Sherlock Holmes Exhibit at the Powerhouse Museum

This exhibit showcased Sherlock Holmes’ tools of the trade. Plus, museum goers get the chance to play Sherlock for a day and solve the mystery! I personally found the exhibit itself extremely interesting, and likewise enjoyed the chance to explore the Powerhouse Museum and its eclectic collection

Bandaloop

Imagine a group of acrobats performing intricate choreography. Now, imagine them doing so on a vertical glass façade! Is your mind blown? Mine was!!! And while my head hurt afterwards (due to the need to crane your head to enjoy the vertical performance), I thought it was well worth the pain!

Sculpture at Barangaroo / Sculpture by the Sea

Barangaroo Reserve / Bondi Beach

I’ll admit, I’m not a huge art enthusiast… But I thought it was great fun to read through and try to understand the meaning behind each and every artwork!

I was only in Sydney for two short, but incredible, months – and wished I had so much more time to experience the amazing events this city had to offer. Let me know what events you’ve managed to catch that stunned you with its beauty – and maybe next time, I’ll get to catch those events too <3

 

 

Sydney is truly a beautiful city! If you haven’t checked out my other blogs yet – please do so! I’m hoping it’ll be helpful to you!

  • I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this website.

    In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to
    get my own, personal website now 😉

  • Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed
    to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware
    of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people
    think about worries that they plainly don’t know
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect ,
    people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get
    more. Thanks
