Sydney Shines with Australia Day Celebrations
On 26 January each year, Australians come together to celebrate their national day, and with Australia Day in Sydney fast becoming a ‘must do’ travel experience, the emerald city turns on the charm, packed full of activities on and around Sydney Harbour, according to Destination NSW.
“The Australia Day celebrations in Sydney are a must do experience – from the Ferrython races to the Great Australian Swim around Farm Cove, The Sydney’s Tall Ships fleet to the aerial displays by the Royal Australian Air Force and the Australia Day Regatta – the harbour is buzzing during this annual spectacle. It is a very special time,” says Sandra Chipchase, CEO, Destination NSW.
The Sydney Harbour Concert Series, presented in association with Destination NSW, featured live music performances on-board an impressive floating stage at Blues Point, Athol Bay and Darling Harbour.

The celebrations continued to Darling Harbour in the evening, with the Darling Harbour Australia Day Spectacular. The renowned show featured a multimedia symphony of lights and music, culminating in a fireworks extravaganza over Cockle Bay.
