The 2015 program in Sydney will feature music, maritime activities, cultural events and entertainment for the whole family.
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said the WugulOra Indigenous Ceremony at the Sydney Opera House, which celebrates the first Australians will mark the official start of a diverse program that lasts into the evening.
“Music lovers can enjoy the Cruising Concert along the Sydney Harbour Foreshore featuring The Voice superstar Darren Percival performing live from a barge out on the water, which will settle into Cockle Bay for a show at 6pm,” Ms Chipchase said.
“Those lucky enough to have secured a ticket through the ballot will enjoy The Australia Day Concert at the Sydney Opera House, presented by the NSW Government through Destination NSW, which will feature some of our finest Aussie talent including Jessica Mauboy, Sheppard, The Veronicas, Justice Crew, James Morrison and Russell Morris, and will be hosted by David Campbell.
“The kids will not miss out either, with The Wiggles Australia Day Concert, also balloted and presented by Destination NSW, taking place at the Sydney Opera House earlier that morning. Nickelodeon’s Hyde Park Summer Playground is sure to be a hit, providing interactive entertainment throughout the day.
“Regional NSW is part of the Australia Day party as well – from fabulous local events in Sydney’s surrounds to the North and South Coasts, and even the Outback.”
Of course, Australia Day in Sydney would not be complete without a maritime spectacle. This year, three P&O Cruise Ships will be docked in Sydney Harbour and will light up beneath a spectacular fireworks display at 8.30pm.
The world’s oldest continuously conducted annual sailing event, the 179th Australia Day Regatta, will once again delight spectators, as will the Tall Ships Race, the Ferrython, and the Salute to Australia which will include a 21 Gun Salute by the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force.
