Midday is marked by a stirring 21-gun salute, followed by a high octane display of a fast jet maneuvering above Sydney Harbour by the Royal Australian Air Force.
A proud Australia Day tradition, the Ferrython is a race like no other with four of Sydney's beloved Emerald Class ferries racing to the ultimate finish line …. the Sydney Harbour Bridge
But that's not it … there is more with Maritime Mayhem, the 190th Australia Day Regatta, the Tall Ships Race, the Harbour Parade, and the Working Harbour Display.
Grab a position anywhere around Circular Quay, Hickson Road Reserve, Dawes Point Reserve, or around the Sydney Opera House, to view all the action of Harbourfest. You can even see it from the Cahill Expressway Walkway or the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Join thousands of Sydneysiders and visitors along the foreshore to enjoy the stunning views and all the excitement on our beautiful harbour.
