The Sydney Festival
Sydney is hot and presently in the throws of the 2008 Sydney Festival which began on Saturday the 5th. The Festival runs for 21 days and nights and welcomes over 1,000 national and international performers and artists who will showcase 120 events over the 25 different venue locations across the vast metropolis of Sydney.
The festival first began in 1977, the same year the great Australian rock group INXS was formed. The Festival’s packed programme includes dance, theatre, music (classical, jazz, folk and contemporary), visual arts, cabaret and circus acts. Not to be missed is the well known series of live outdoor concerts held in the Domain.
