[title]It's no secret that Sydney shines during the summer, but there’s something special about the way the Harbour City turns up its everything-but-the-beach offerings during the cooler months.
This May, we’ve got giggly goodness courtesy of Sydney Comedy Festival, a sparkling line-up of excellent plays and musicals at theatres across the city, Sydney Writers' Festival taking over Carriageworks, a major new exhibition showing at the MCA and free jazz shows in The Rocks every Thursday evening. Oh, and the Archibald.
Adding to the illumination is Vivid 2025 – the immersive wonderland which will be lighting up the city from May 23. Until then, you can get your luminous fix at Nocturnal (lighting up a beautiful prehistoric valley in the Blue Mountains until May 11).
This month, we’ll also be spending our days stocking up on local goods at the best markets in the city, walking it out on one of these beautiful scenic trails in the city, and warming up with a Sunday roast as winter sets in.
May the force be with us.
