The Artistry

Overview

Taking over Darling Harbour's Tumbalong Park, The Artistry 2025 is a celebration of the immense diversity that makes up the Asia-Pacific region. Held from February 7-9, curated food, music, art and cultural events proudly capture Sydney's multicultural communities. As you might expect, culinary exploration is a big focus, with 20 food vendors bringing an assortment of tantalising flavours.

Then, live entertainment throughout the festival shifts from an energetic performance by Justice Crew to Lunar New Year parades and thumping DJs. Some countries like Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong even have their own pavilion, helping visitors gain deeper insight into what makes each culture unique.

"The Artistry 2025 is a celebration of Sydney's unique identity as a melting pot of cultures. By combining the traditions, flavours and art of Asia-Pacific, we're creating a festival that brings people together to embrace and honour our shared diversity," says festival director Yudi Loefti.

Alongside mahjong workshops, live street art and a pop-up art gallery, there's also the chance to catch Sydney's first-ever open-air Muay Thai tournament. Entry to the festival is free, but some events are ticketed.
