June is here, and although winter isn’t known as Sydney’s prime time, there’s so much keeping the sunny city’s sparkle alive through the cooler months.
With Vivid running until June 14, Sydney Film Festival lighting up screens across the city, and an excellent theatre line-up, this month is set to be pretty glittery, ice-cold temperatures aside. For the ultimate magical evening this month, we’d suggest hitting one of the city’s best happy hours before catching a show at the Opera House and then refuelling at one of the city’s best restaurants.
Plus, whale watching season is setting in – these are the best spots to see them from Sydney.
There's also a huge wine fest taking over The International, a laneway party lighting up the alleyway behind the Ace Hotel and a magical winter ceramics market (with free coffee) going down at ClayGround.
Want to live a Euro-summer style life on a budget this month? Eight top Sydney venues are offering a wild 50 per cent off (yep, you're reading that right), the Boathouse venues are serving up $12 Aperols and Margs all month long, and Bondi's Mediterranean gem Ikaria is running a Greek-style happy hour with $10 Spritzes and $10 dip plates.
