Some things are worth keeping.

Our 2027 brochure is one of them. Equal parts planning tool and Festival keepsake, it's made for circling favourites, discovering new experiences and revisiting the art long after the season ends. And also it's pretty.

If you'd like one delivered, place a pre-order now. We're continuing last year's pre-order system to help reduce waste and make sure brochures reach the people who want them.

Culture doesn't just happen on stages.

It's made in community kitchens, club nights, skate parks, artist-run spaces, Discords, TikToks, garage parties and everywhere people come together.

If you're an IBPoC festival-maker, curator or cultural organiser from Greater Sydney or the Asia Pacific, Festival Commons is for you.

Join a 10-day lab during Sydney Festival 2027 and connect with fellow cultural organisers through mentorship, behind-the-scenes access, peer exchange and festival experiences.
