Living in student housing in Sydney means you’ll be on the cusp of an array of amazing events. Here are a few that you just can’t miss!
Sydney Festival
Lovers of theatre, dance, and music will benefit from this annual January festival. With shows from high-profile local and international performers, it’ll be a festival worth putting down in your calendar. So, whether you’re looking to be challenged, provoked, or entertained, remember to check the shows in advance and snag a ticket early – you don’t want to miss out!
Mardi Gras
Celebrate love at Mardi Gras: Australia’s favorite summer festival. Whether you’re straight or gay, you’ll love the drag, queer parties, and show-stopping parade that takes over Sydney in February.
All About Women
Get ready for Sydney’s annual feminist festival: All About Women. For two days in March, it brings to the surface issues that affect everyone in society, not just women. With panels and workshops exploring everything from African head-wrapping to the nature of dark matter, it’s an event worth attending.
Buy tickets in advance – it sells out quickly!
The Easter Show
Australia’s largest annual ticketed event, the Sydney Royal Easter Show, is known for its rides, goodie bags, and cuddly animals. It’s been held almost every year since 1823, so it’s a guaranteed great time. Our top tip? Bring a friend or two and experience the awe with them.
The Italian Film Festival
As the weather gets cooler, you’ll benefit from shifting to indoor activities, like the many film festivals held in Sydney. We especially recommend the Italian Film Festival, which has been operating for over 70 years.
It showcases all the best and brightest movies straight from Italy, so you can be sure that you’ll see the quality. Pick up a ticket and watch anything from Pinocchio to Malèna in a beautiful, art-house cinema.
Vivid Sydney
The largest winter festival in the world, Vivid Sydney is one of Sydney’s pride and joys. It takes place from May to June, during which it takes over the city with its awe-inspiring light installations, crazy gigs and parties, and knowledgeable workshops and panel discussions.
No matter what floats your boat, you’ll find it at Vivid Sydney.
Carriageworks Farmers Market
Think of amazing food and delicious produce. Skip breakfast and visit the Carriageworks Farmers Market for an unforgettable Sydney experience – and don’t forget to bring your camera!
