Things to Do in Sydney This Springtime Spectacular

Welcome, brilliant listeners, to Things to Do in Sydney with your resident globe-trotting, sports-obsessed Oly Bennet! It's Sunday, September 7, 2025—the city is sparkling with spring energy, and there's an epic spread of adventures simmering just for you. Sydney’s skies are doing their best impression of Bondi blue, serving up crisp air and plenty of sunshine—ideal for both outdoor escapades and cozy indoor antics. The streets have more buzz than a swarming rugby scrum, thanks to Father’s Day festivities, the Sydney Fringe Festival, and a wave of concerts and quirky cultural happenings.

Now, let’s talk about what’s blowing up today! First, Sydney Fringe Festival is absolutely taking over the town with jaw-dropping, unexpected performances in over 70 venues. Think immersive theater, pop-up art, and live music in every nook and cranny—Sydney.com is calling this one a riot of color and creativity you won’t want to miss. Over at the iconic Sydney Opera House, legendary Aussie rocker Russell Morris is tearing the roof off the Concert Hall as part of his huge farewell tour. Prepare for spine-tingling classics and an electrifying final show, the kind where you’ll want to say, “I was there!” according to the Sydney Opera House.

If you fancy something wildly modern, Universal Superclub in Darlinghurst is hosting Hong Kong-born sensation Kiri T for her Ridiculously Down Under Tour. Expect genre-bending anthems, poetic lyricism, and a crowd that grooves harder than a kangaroo on a pogo stick, as Universal’s own event calendar proclaims. In foodie news, today isn’t just Sunday—it’s Father’s Day! That means feasts galore from The Rocks, like a massive German spread at Munich Brauhaus or Japanese plates at Saké, reports The Rocks’ event highlights. All across Sydney, restaurants are rolling out the red carpet for the legends called “Dad,” so book quickly or risk spending the day with a takeaway pizza on a park bench.

If your vibe is indie flicks and global stories, then head to Riverside Theatres in Parramatta for Africa Film Fest Australia, running now with a powerful line-up of films celebrating the vast diversity of African cinema. And if you want a taste of tradition with a twist, the Sydney Yellamundie Festival at Carriageworks is championing incredible First Nations storytelling and creativity.

Switching gears to hot-off-the-press city news: ICC Sydney has just been awarded top ‘Green Venue’ status, making it the sustainability MVP of event spaces—good on ya, Sydney, keeping things fun and eco-friendly! Transit-wise, all major trains, buses, and ferries are running on time (knock on wood, Sydney Rail gods), and lively crowds in the city mean it’s a perfect excuse to try those famous Lime Scooters or cycle down to Circular Quay like a true Sydneysider.

Looking to make the most of this feast of a Sunday? Don’t miss climbing the Harbour Bridge at sunrise—less crowds, epic views (and honestly, who wouldn’t want to brag about scaling a global icon before breakfast?). Wander The Rocks for hidden laneways and artisan markets—sometimes you’ll stumble upon buskers and performers straight from the Fringe lineup. Dip your toes into the legendary waves at Bronte or Coogee, where the surf is welcoming for beginners and the coffee is worth every sip.

Quick Sydney tip: If you want to fit in, master the local nod—just a casual, chin-forward flick to everyone you pass. It’s like a secret handshake, but for your face. And here’s a fun fact: somewhere in this city right now, a group of diehards is probably playing underwater rugby—seriously, check it out if you want to see locals at their quirkiest and most competitive.

Before I let you bounce off on today’s adventures, mark your calendars for tomorrow: Sydney’s Fringe gets even wilder, the city’s galleries fire up for Art & Culture Month, and rumor has it there’s a massive open-air ping pong tournament down by Darling Harbour—because why not?
