About Sydney Festival

SydFest 2021. Australian Made.

2020 has been a challenging year. To kickstart 2021, we’re recovering, reconnecting communities, and reinvigorating Australia’s arts.

Each January, Sydney Festival presents bold and memorable experiences that ignite, unite, and excite the city of Sydney. 

In 2021, we’re building on our proud 44-year history of commissioning and presenting inspiring and ground-breaking new Australian art, with a program that celebrates the best work from our finest artists and companies.

More than any other cultural event, Sydney Festival defines Sydney’s personality, while audacious contemporary programming positions it at the forefront of arts practice in Australia and as one of the most wonderful arts festivals in the world.

For over four decades we have presented international artists, commissioned works that have become Australian classics, opened new perspectives and created a buzz like no other.
