First held in 1977, the Sydney Festival has grown into a lively celebration of the city’s cultural life; the embodiment of Sydney’s creative spirit. Though it no longer features a ‘Festival of Sydney open golf tournament’ (one of the highlights of the second Festival in 1978 according to the Australian Women’s Weekly), this year’s Festival nonetheless features a daunting 179 events across 25 venues, both indoors and outdoors, making all the more difficult to decide what to see.
