Sydney’s summer calendar of events is packed with world-class performance including drama, dance, musicals, special art exhibitions, extravagant fashion shows as well as live music events justifying why renting spaces and even land for sale in Sydney is hot in the market today.

Upcoming Summer Events

Stretching till June, the 20th Biennale of Sydney will bring together the work and artistry of more than 80 local and international artists across seven venues in Australia’s biggest contemporary visual arts festival. The theme this year is ‘The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed’, and what’s best, the entire program is absolutely free to the public!

The MCA’s exhibition of British artist Grayson Perry’s craft will be on display until the start of May 2016. Perry was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003. His works are described to be reflective, humorous, and fun, and best bit about it is that this will be his first exhibit in the Southern Hemisphere – which makes it the more special.

From 27 of May to 18 of June, Vivid Sydney will transform the city and other areas into a wonderland of sculptures, amazing light fixtures and grand-scale projections for everyone to enjoy. It is a matchless annual event of light, music and ideas, introducing an outdoor ‘gallery’ of extraordinary lighting sculptures, and a cutting-edge contemporary music program.

And yes! It’s all FREE.
