THE DOMAIN SERIES The Domain Series has become synonymous with Sydney in full summer festival mode. This year, Sydney Festival brings you two huge outdoor musical celebrations that will get your toes tapping.
THE FESTIVAL IN PARRAMATTA Jazz from Finland, salsa beats from New York and a huge installation in Prince Alfred Park - just some of the sights and sounds to look out for in Parramatta in this year's Festival.
AAMI FERRYTHON Once again we unleash those four fast and feisty old gals, the beloved little green and yellow catamarans, in a battle for line honours and the coveted Lord Mayor's Trophy.
AIRVAG Stunning, colourful interactive sculptures that fill the parks and streets by day and delight adults and children alike. As night falls, these beautiful objects begin to glow and sway transforming familiar spaces.
FESTIVAL FIRST NIGHT Festival First Night on Saturday January 5 is an opening night party to which absolutely everyone is invited. It's a mass celebration kicking off three weeks of music, dance, theatre, art and more. Festival First Night is the night to put your dancing shoes on and enjoy the best that Sydney Festival has to offer - for FREE.
FESTIVAL FIRST NIGHT • KIDS FIRST Festival First Night commences with a range of activities for children and their families.

There will also be music from Morganics, Maja Jupiter, Jade MacRae and more.
FESTIVAL KIDS Come and join us for a series of workshops, performances and activities that allow younger audiences to get up and close and meet Festival artists, find out how shows are made and learn the trick of the trade.
HAIRCUTS BY CHILDREN How much do you trust a ten year old? Enough to give you a haircut? After a team of children participate in a series of training workshops with local professional stylists you are invited to get a free haircut.
JAZZ IN THE DOMAIN • EL BARRIO Sponsored by The Daily Telegraph and GIO. The Spanish Harlem Orchestra and legendary pianist, arranger and producer Oscar Hernandez pay tribute to the original sound of New York old school salsa dura.

SYMPHONY IN THE DOMAIN • SPELLBOUND A flowing, hypnotic odyssey sweeping from the romance of Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream to Stravinsky's wild and exotic ballet The Firebird.
T_VISIONARIUM Ever thought that the millions of images broadcast on television could one day be an archive of human behaviour? Explore that idea as you step into the multi-sensory excitement of interactive 3D cinema.
WATER FOOLS Watch as cars pull caravans, children are brought out for walks in their strollers and gods march into battle - all ingeniously floating on the surface of the water and performed by French performance wizards, Ilotopie.
