Annual events

Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority produces a hugely successful program of free annual events in The Rocks.

Thousands of Sydneysiders and tourists flock to the area each year to celebrate Australia Day, and join in other festivities including Aroma and Village Bizarre.

Below is Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority's program of major events for the next 12 months. Jot these annual events in your diary now so you don't forget.

The Rocks Aroma Festival
Sunday 21 July 2013

For over a hundred years, The Rocks was the hub of Sydney's international trade, where produce such as coffee, tea, and spice was off-loaded to warehouses lining Campbells Cove.

The Aroma Festival is a sensory overload and indulgence with the pungency of brewing coffee, the heady explosion of spice as it hits the nose, the satin quality of chocolate as it melts on the tongue and the clean refreshing flavour of the first sip of tea.

The Rocks Village Bizarre
2013 dates coming soon

Experience the excitement as Sydney's favourite moonlight market transforms into an authentic village fair with a distinctly new twist.

The village host will be your guide on a journey through the secret alleys and hidden rooms of The Rocks. Burlesque beauties and opera divas will entice you to intimate pop-up performances or simply relax at The Rocks Square's lively outdoor lounge.

The Rocks Australia Day
Saturday 26 January 2014

Australia Day in The Rocks is a proud celebration of the Australian voice. This free live music festival demonstrates the depth of the Australian music scene, bringing together singers and songwriters from all corners of the country and all musical genres.

With a number of stages across The Rocks there is music to suit everyone's tastes - lounge back and chill to jazz, soul and blues, bob to your favourite funk and rocks sounds,  be transported by spine-tingling opera and inspired by haunting and sublime acapella harmonies.
