Vivid Sydney

Sydney VividVivid Sydney has the wonderful power to draw people out onto Sydney’s streets to point, stare, gasp and even endure relatively inclement weather whilst holding their smart phones and cameras aloft. Is there more to Vivid than clever and pretty visual effects? Yes, but the laser art and special effects are really cool. If you don’t bring your camera you will hate yourself.

Hunters Hill Food and Wine Festival – Boronia Park Oval, Hunters Hill – Sunday, 3rd May 2020

Hunters Hill Food and Wine Festival is a local affair but everyone is very much welcome. The festival has been going and growing for years now. Fresh food, wine tasting from 30 different vineyards, stalls, cooking demos, entertainment and rides for the small people. It is a great day out for the whole family.

The Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon – Sunday, 17th May 2020

Snow Travel Expo – ICC Darling Harbour – Sunday, 24th May 2020

Beware the International Ski Travel Expo! It is a slippery slope to your next ski trip. Entry to the Expo is free and you could win a Ski Holiday. If you have never been skiing, or don’t think it’s worth skiing in Australia, have a read of “Skiing in Australia“.

Taste of Manly – 30th and 31st May 2020

I’m starting to feel bad about the number of times we mention the Northern Beaches. In my defence, it is a little hard to ignore the Taste of Manly Festival as it is such great event! Great food and wine combined with live music and an awesome scenic backdrop. Having said that, there is so much to do on the Northern Beaches that you really could just go for an hour or two then jumps back in the car and keep driving up the coast. We are so spoilt in this city; make the most of it.
