The Sydney Comedy Festival is a good laugh. Lots of funny men and women raising spirits and inviting tears of laughter. It’s a bit giggly at the Opera House whilst it is likely to be a bit more raucous at the Enmore. If you love a good laugh follow the link below:
The Sydney Writers’ Festival presents some of the world’s finest poets, novelists and authors. Whilst most of the Sydney Writers’ Festival action takes place at Walsh Bay, events are also held at venues throughout Sydney and Regional NSW. The Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest festival of literature and ideas. With many of Australia’s top writers taking part we can ‘literacy’ say it is a good idea to go along. 🙂
Bachata is Back! The 17th Sydney International Bachata Festival will give us 72 golden hours of Latin Dance, world-class performances, some memorable parties and an urban Bachata concert. Feel the vibrant energy of Bachata!
The St Ives Show always has a fair bit to offer often performing above its weight as a suburban affair.
Biennale of Sydney has consistently adorned the city with the work of thousands of artists from around the globe. If you want to experience world class innovative and contemporary works of art Biennale should be on your list of things to do in May.
It costs to run in “Australia’s largest and most prestigious half marathon” but it does raise money for charity. You will race over 21kms around Sydney’s major landmarks with a big finish in Hyde Park. Be quick… (places are limited).
GABS is really for those who take their drink very seriously. You will get the chance to taste quality brew and talk to the people who produce it or at least drink it. 🙂 The organisers recognises that some people actually don’t like beer very much. So they also have spirits, wine and cocktails. As all serious drinkers know, “the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” 🙂
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“.
You might think, ‘steam trains – big deal’, but there’s more than hot air coming out of the Thirlmere Festival (weekend) of Steam. Saturday has interesting displays to enjoy along with a great opportunity to get close and personal with some historic steam trains.
On Sunday cars make way for steam along with amusement rides, face painting, airbrush tattoos, music and entertainment. You might be able catch a train, steam naturally, from Sydney to get there. Also nearby are the Thirlmere lakes and Royal National Park to enjoy as well as some steamy events on the day before, so why not make a weekend of it? Follow the link below for more information.
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.
