International Convention Centre

Australia’s longest-running adults-only weekend, Sexpo, is back by popular demand – bringing its signature festival of inclusive sexuality and performance to the Harbour City for the first time since 2022. The sex-positive showcase (including the largest sex education stage in the Southern Hemisphere) is coming to Darling Harbour's International Convention Centre this July – with three days of inclusive, non-judgemental fun and education.  Despite its brief hiatus, Sexpo is back and bigger than ever –with industry-leading retailers, interactive displays, kink demonstrations, and guest appearances from world-famous adult stars. Festivities kick off with a Fetish Friday affair, which will run from 5pm until midnight with back-to-back shows on the main stage. The next day, come along from 11am until 5pm, or to the night-time session which will run from 6pm until midnight. The fun will culminate with a Champagne-fuelled brunch on Sunday, July 28 – with shows, talks, strip competitions and workshops taking place throughout the three day festival. Sexpo lands at Sydney’s International Convention Centre for a big weekend of grown-up fun from Friday, July 26 until Sunday, July 28. Tickets start at $69, or you can score a VIP ticket to the Sunday (bottomless) Brunch for $189 (which includes a two-hour drinks package and canapés from 11am-1pm, plus access to the strip lounges, kink lounge and a carefully curated Sexpo goodie bag).
