T is for a Technicolour Sydney

If you're spending your long weekend in Sydney be sure to take advantage of all the free entertainment our beautiful city has to offer. Firstly, this weekend is your last chance to get into Circular Quay and check out Vivid Sydney. With even better technology and more interactive options than ever before, paired with a variety of concerts on at the Opera House, you really should spend at least one evening exploring this harbourside event this weekend.  Everything you need to know about Vivid Sydney's lights, music and other concepts can be found on the festival's website.

Also this weekend is Darling Harbour's annual Jazz and Blues Festival. Across the long weekend local artists such as James Morrison, Mojo Juju and from the UK, Trevor Watts and Veryan Weston, will perform in Darling Harbour and best of all - it's free! Actually, over 40 artists will perform on three stages in Darling Harbour across the three days and nights this weekend so it's definitely worth a visit. I definitely recommend catching public transport into the city and jump on the Darling Harbour website to plan your day so you don't miss out on your favourite artists. Bios, programs and loads more event information can also be found on the Darling Harbour website.

Finally, the Sydney Film Festival kicked off last week and provides a great opportunity to check out some excellent flicks and, while not free, they are at very reasonable prices and in some really cool venues. Check out the Sydney Film Festival website for a complete list of sessions, venues and ticket prices.
