Christmas in July

Sydney's beloved Christmas in July Festival returns to The Rocks, bringing the charm of a European winter market to the city's historic laneways. From July 11 to 20, immerse yourself in a festive atmosphere complete with snow lanes, mulled wine, raclette, and over 80 real Christmas trees adorned with twinkling fairy lights. 

The event features authentic European-style wooden chalets offering a variety of food, wine, and artisan goods. Enjoy live music, Christmas carols, and street art performances that add to the holiday cheer. A highlight of the festival is the Fire Pit Cinema at Cadmans Cottage, where guests can snuggle by the fire, toast marshmallows, sip hot beverages, and enjoy classic Christmas films. 

With free entry and extended trading hours, the festival aligns perfectly with the NSW school holidays, making it an ideal outing for families and visitors of all ages.
