Welcome, globe-trotters and local adventurers, to Things to Do in Sydney! It’s Saturday, September 6, 2025, and this is your trusty, offbeat guide Oly Bennet—broadcasting straight from the sun-soaked playground that is Sydney, where the spirit of fun never takes a nap. Today’s city vibe? Absolutely buzzing! The weather is a winner—temperatures hovering in the mid-20s Celsius, skies splashed with sunshine, and just the right breeze for everything from beach cricket on Bondi to a cheeky rooftop cocktail.
Sydney’s calendar is jam-packed with delights as diverse and dazzling as the Harbour itself. First up, the Chatswood StreetFair takes center stage in the north, turning Victoria Avenue into a festival wonderland until 6 pm. Dive into over 140 dazzling stalls, a parade of epic proportions, and stages packed with live performances. Think of it as Sydney’s answer to a confetti cannon—families, foodies, and festival-hoppers, this one's for you, as highlighted by Visit Chatswood, the Emerge Festival’s showcase event.
Get your groove on for nostalgia with ‘Dirty Dancing’ in Concert at the ICC—movie magic meets live music, and chances are, you really *will* have the time of your life, according to Concrete Playground. If you’re a fan of cinema with an international twist (and let’s face it, who isn’t?), today marks the final flicks of the Taiwan Film Festival at select venues, serving an artistic banquet from Taiwanese directors right in Sydney.
Culture vultures, don’t sleep on the Sydney Fringe Festival, where over 450 events will ignite the city throughout September. From wild theatre antics to immersive experiences, Sydney Fringe promises everything from slam poetry to a ‘Stranger Things’ parody. As reported by the official travel site, it’s transforming more than 70 venues, injecting a riot of colour everywhere you look.
Looking for something a little different? Over at the Art Gallery Cafe, Unhurried Conversations invites you to slow down and connect with fellow Sydneysiders in a relaxed setting—proving that sometimes, the quirkiest activity is just a good chat over coffee. If you’ve got kids or a passion for local culture, the Indigenous Cultural Tour led by Koori Kinnections at The Coal Loader offers a family-friendly deep dive into Aboriginal history and tradition.
In Sydney news and announcements, there’s talk of a much-anticipated ramen bar opening near Central Station—local foodie forums are already hyped. Meanwhile, keep an eye on light rail updates along George Street; some stops will see temporary adjustments this evening, so check digital displays before heading home. And for you night owls, whispers abound of an after-hours swing jazz pop-up just off Oxford Street—blink and you’ll miss it.
For must-do activities today, why not scale the Sydney Harbour Bridge for panoramic selfies, then hop on a ferry to Manly for a surf lesson or gelato crawl? If you fancy a walk on the wild side, the Royal Botanic Garden blooms with spring colour—and pro tip: if you spot the bush turkey near the pond, legend says luck will follow you until at least tomorrow.
Here’s your Sydney local fun fact: Ever notice those odd blue plaques around the city? They mark the quirky, historical, and, yes, sometimes embarrassing moments in Sydney’s wild past—so see how many you can spot on your adventures today.
Set your alarms for tomorrow’s sneak peek—a fresh wave of Sydney Fringe Festival premieres, hidden laneway gigs, and the opening weekend of the Australian Native Food Festival at Carriageworks. You won’t want to miss it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
