SYDNEY, Jan. 18 -- Sydney is celebrating its 40th anniversary of Sydney Festival from Janurary 7 to 26. Numerous creative activities have been attracting thousands of audiences.
Hyde Park, located in CBD of Sydney, is one of the main showing grounds. With the theme of Meriton Festival Village, various dancing and singing events have been held. At the entrance, there are a group of people wearing headphones and waving their hands with the choreographer. Interestingly, what they are hearing is not music but the Choreographer’s funny talks.
In addition, what attracts more children is bubble disco, where they are dancing in the sea of bubbles.
Another showing ground is in Parramatta where the audiences can enjoy the exhibition of arts, concerts, theaters and so on. The “1000 Bells” in Prince Alfred Square are created by people from different places, expressing the diversity of Sydney’s communities.
The first Sydney Festival started in 1977 and it has grown into one of Australia's largest annual cultural celebrations.
