About this event

Sydney is one of the world’s most diverse cities, and Culture Alive is bringing the cultures that make it so vibrant together at Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour.

Proudly celebrating Sydney’s multicultural communities, this season brings together the Thai Grand Festival, Philippines Christmas Festival and Nepal Festival — each with its own unique blend of international food, live entertainment, workshops, arts and crafts, cultural demonstrations and traditions.

While every festival brings its own distinctive culture, together they create one bigger celebration of Sydney’s incredible diversity.

And you don’t need to be part of a particular culture to take part - Culture Alive is for everyone. Come curious, bring your friends and family, and discover something new as Darling Harbour becomes the place where Sydney comes together to celebrate the world’s cultures.
