Want to see what is happening where you are going in the New South Wales? Maybe you want to include a destination in your plans, some stopover to coincide with events happening in that town?

There are many festivals and events held throughout New South Wales, many that are regular annual and seasonal events — from the popular festivities of Christmas New Year, winter snow activities in the Snowy Mountains, local markets and agricultural shows, music festivals (such as the Tamworth Country Music Festival and Parkes Elvis Festival), and of course the immensely popular extravaganza of the annual evolving Sydney Vivid.

When planning your visit anywhere in New South Wales, check the destination pages of the town or area you are visiting for information about what is happening when you visit.

Also, check out the local council for your destination, as most local councils have their own website where they promote local events.

Some events happen at the same time throughout Australia, such as Christmas and New Years Eve celebrations, ANZAC Day, Australia Day, local markets, agricultural shows etc. Some scheduled events only have approximate dates, with some dates changing or being cancelled.

When planning your travel around festivals and events, contact the holder of the activity or the local visitor centre where the festival/event is happening to confirm the timetable and in case there is a cancellation of the event.
