The Festival of Sydney celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Commonwealth of Australia with a birthday party like no other. The day-time celebrations in Hyde Park included brass bands, folk groups and a range of free outdoor entertainment.
The Australiana theme continued with a new venture for the Festival; Australian Cinema: The New Generation. Across a week, this presentation of the latest independent films from Australia’s newest generation of filmmakers saw cinema take a stronger position in the Festival line-up, alongside the usual strands of theatre, dance and music.
MUSIC, included the Festival of Folklife as well as classical & other styles.
Other events which were part of the Festival - THEATRE, CABARET, CIRCUS, ART, CELEBRATIONS, FILM, MAGIC, POETRY, and SPORT,
