[title]Summer is just heating up and Barangaroo is abuzz with all sorts of entertainment and activity by the harbour. Fill up your calendar with all the action-packed events happening down by the water including a cinema under the stars, secret swimming spots and First Nations cultural tours.
Tick off your first bucket-list worthy item with a visit to Sydney Festival 2025. The massive celebration returns this January and is bringing two amazing and free activities to Barangaroo. One of the harbour’s hidden gems, Marrinawi Cove, will come to life on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3pm. Sunbake on the historic, sun-soaked slabs of sandstone while listening to live acoustic music and enjoying scoops from the legends at Rivareno Gelato. For those who love staying active, Harbour Park is hosting free twilight sessions of pickleball every Tuesday from 5-7pm with onsite trainers, plenty of equipment and weekly prizes.
For those seeking a deeper connection to the land, Barangaroo is offering the chance to immerse yourself in the Indigenous history of Warrane (Sydney Harbour). Tours run for 90 minutes every Monday to Saturday and are led by a team of Aboriginal educators. You can also join Aboriginal educators on a lunchtime tour of Barangaroo's public art.
As the sun dips, enjoy a round of cocktails and waterfront views at one of Barangaroo’s world-class bars. We recommend the Turkish-inspired Anason, the moody Japanese restaurant Callao or The Waiting Room, which is arguably one of the best sunset spots in town. To cap off the evening, head to Barangaroo’s beach cinema, Mov’in Bed and order popcorn, pizza or fish and chips from a cosy queen or king-sized bed. Summer sessions feature new releases including Wicked and festive showings of Elf, Love Actually and The Grinch.
