Sydney Opera House Summer Playground 2017
The Opera House is hosting a delightful mid-summer carnival party.
Overview
The Sydney Opera House's Summer Playground program is back this January for its fifth year running. This year, it's set to indulge the kidult within you with a vintage carnival theme – expect Coney Island vibes, fairground games (laughing clowns, anyone?) and maybe even fairy floss.
Each year, the Summer Playground program features a pop-up bar with specialty drinks (think fresh flavours and fruity slushies), al fresco dining and activities for adults, kids and kidults alike (like the giant sandpit they're having this year). There's also always a stellar entertainment lineup – past performers have included Tim Minchin and Angus and Julia Stone.
Spend a lazy summer afternoon (or three) on the Opera House's Western Boardwalk in January – and head here around January too for more info about the performers and menu, which you can be sure will be stunning.
