Sydney Stories: Sydney Festival artists share their favourite memories of our city

Unlock the moments that make our city extraordinary, as Sydney Festival artists tell their stories of Sydney.

04 Jan, 2025 Sydney Festival

See our city in a new light.

Share in moments of magic and meaning, as Sydney Festival artists tell their stories of Sydney.

This is more than a collection of tales; it’s a celebration of Sydney’s vibrant soul. From unforgettable nights at iconic venues to serendipitous meetings on city streets, these stories reflect the humour, heart and bright energy that define our home.

Join us to celebrate the past, present and future of Sydney through voices that remind us of who we are, where we’ve been and where we’re going.
