Sydney always pulls out the stops to keep tourists entertained and Christmas is offers a feast of free events, markets, choirs, trees and lights bringing festive cheer to Australia's biggest city.
Think carol singers in action across the city, visits from Santa to a new Christmas fair and the tallest Christmas tree in the region.
The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, says the city's festive program is accessible and inclusive, with something for everyone and all ages.
“Christmas in Sydney - it really is the most wonderful time of the year,” she said.
“We’re spending more than $4.3 million on our celebrations and expanding our program so more people than ever can enjoy the fun.
"The city comes alive with celebration at Christmas time - we invite everyone to make the most of the festive season with our packed Sydney Christmas program."
Highlights will include the Martin Place Christmas tree, which for more than 50 years the Martin Place Christmas tree has been the centre of Sydney’s yuletide celebrations.
The tree stands 25-metres tall and features 800 branches dressed with 15,000 native Australian flowers, 330 specially created glossy baubles, 110,000 LEDs and a 3.5 metre colour-changing star.
It will be illuminated daily from 8pm to midnight until January 4 with light and music shows taking place every 15 minutes.
Five family-friendly concerts will feature live performances by Royston Noell, Mitch Tambo, The Listies and Junkyard Beats, along with festive activities, food trucks and visits from Santa on November 29: Pirrama Park, Pyrmont; November 30: Turruwul Park, Rosebery; December 6: Bicentennial Park, Glebe; December 7: Reg Bartley Oval, Rushcutters Bay and December 14: Alexandria Park, Alexandria.
The Surry Hills Christmas Fair on December 13 will be held from 11am to 10pm on Crown Street, between Foveaux and Cleveland streets.
Local businesses and restaurants will extend onto the street from 11am, with roving performers, Christmas shopping stalls, a pop-up cinema screening Elf and games,
