Sydney Comedy Festival
The Sydney Comedy Festival is a good laugh. Lots of funny men and women raising spirits and inviting tears of laughter. The Sydney Comedy Festival Gala is a bit giggly at the Sydney Opera House whilst it is likely to be a bit more raucous at the Enmore. If you love a good laugh follow the link below:

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia
We have to wait a bit for the next Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA). It will be one of the big fashion events of the year. It’s what we have all been holding onto our credit cards for 🙂 . So get ready for a fashionable experience that will probably make you want to buy something.

Vivid Sydney
Vivid Sydney has the wonderful power to draw people out onto Sydney’s streets to point, stare, gasp and even endure relatively inclement weather whilst holding their smart phones and cameras aloft. Is there more to Vivid than clever and pretty visual effects? Yes, but the laser art and special effects are really cool. If you don’t take lots of photos you will hate yourself.

Sydney Writers’ Festival
The Sydney Writers’ Festival presents some of the world’s finest poets, novelists and authors. Whilst most of the Sydney Writers’ Festival action takes place at Walsh Bay, events are also held at venues throughout Sydney and Regional NSW. The Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest festival of literature and ideas. With many of Australia’s top writers taking part we can ‘literacy’ say it is a good idea to go along. 🙂

The St Ives Show
The St Ives Show always has a fair bit to offer often performing above its weight as a suburban affair.

The Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon
It costs to run in “Australia’s largest and most prestigious half marathon” but it does raise money for charity. You will race over 21kms around Sydney’s major landmarks with a big finish in Hyde Park. Be quick… (places are limited).

Sydney GABS (Great Australasian Beer Spectacular)
GABS is really for those who take their drink very seriously. You will get the chance to taste quality brew and talk to the people who produce it or at least drink it. 🙂 GABS recognises that some people actually don’t like beer very much. So they have spirits, wine and cocktails. As all serious drinkers know, “the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” 🙂

Snow Travel Expo – ICC Darling Harbour
Beware the International Ski Travel Expo! It is a slippery slope to your next ski trip. Entry to the Expo is free and you could win a Ski Holiday. If you have never been skiing, or don’t think it’s worth skiing in Australia, have a read of “Skiing in Australia“.

Taste of Manly – cancelled for now
I’m starting to feel bad about the number of times we mention the Northern Beaches. In my defence, it is a little hard to ignore the Taste of Manly Festival as it is such great event! Great food and wine combined with live music and an awesome scenic backdrop. Having said that, there is so much to do on the Northern Beaches that you really could just go for an hour or two then jumps back in the car and keep driving up the coast. We are so spoilt in this city; make the most of it.
