Christmas in July Festival returns to The Rocks
2026-07-10 16:00 - 2026-07-19 23:00 | The Rocks Square, The Rocks, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
Sydney’s favourite winter celebration is back as the Christmas in July Festival returns to The Rocks from 10–19 July 2026, transforming the historic precinct into a glowing European-inspired winter village.
Following a hugely successful 10-day run last year, the free-entry festival is set to bring back its signature mix of snowfall moments, fairy-lit laneways, live music, artisan markets, festive food, and cosy winter experiences for all ages.
Across ten magical nights, visitors can wander through rows of traditional European-style wooden chalets set against The Rocks’ sandstone streets, showcasing over 30 vendors offering handmade gifts, festive treats, winter drinks, and immersive food experiences inspired by Christmas markets in France, Germany and the Alps.
A highlight returns in the form of Snow Lane in Kendall Lane, where snow falls beneath glowing lights, surrounded by mulled wine bars, raclette, fondue, hot chocolates, winter desserts, fire pits, and curated artisan shopping.
Christmas in July Festival has quickly become a Sydney winter tradition—an invitation to wrap up warm, gather with friends, and enjoy the simple joy of festive food, music, and atmosphere in one of the city’s most iconic locations.
As Festival Director Vincent Hernandez puts it:
“Walking through glowing chalets, sharing mulled wine under fairy lights, and watching snow fall in The Rocks has become something people truly make part of their winter traditions.”

LUMINESCENCE | Science Week 2026
2026-07-15 - 2026-08-17 | Jervis Bay Maritime Museum & Gallery, Dent Street, Huskisson, NSW
What will you see when the lights go out?
On special nights of the year in the oceans and the forests of our South Coast home, we can stumble across glittering scenes of bioluminescence; a clump of ghost mushrooms inhabiting a dead tree stump, fireflies dancing, or we can swim in Jervis Bay with the phosphorescent plankton that twinkle like stars around us. It’s seems like magic.
Luminescence – Discovery of a Glowing World is an interactive theatrical experience inspired by the wonder and science of all that glows in the natural world. An exploration and discovery for young children of nature and bioluminescence – the amazing natural glowing phenomenon caused by the bio-chemical reaction of luciferin with oxygen.
Nic-Nac Theatre Company invites participants to explore and recreate these glowing worlds that inspire wonder and awe. Adults and children learn and play side by side creating the setting for a luminescent world. Each session is unique to the audience that builds and directs the interactive experience.
Come and create your own glowing world and play with the science of light this Science Week at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum.

With three performance dates:
Saturday 15th August – 11am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm
Sunday 16th August– 11am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm
Monday 17th August– 10am, 12pm
