Circular Quay and The Rocks

The Bastille Festival Sydney is a free, annual celebration of French culture held at Circular Quay and The Rocks since 2013. Over four festive days, it transforms the area into a lively French village, featuring authentic food and wine, live music, street performances, and art installations.

Set against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour, the festival offers a vibrant taste of France, inviting locals and visitors to enjoy a joyful and immersive cultural experience.

From 17 May to mid-November, over 16,000 whales migrate along our coastline, with peak viewing from mid-June to mid-July. Catch them up close from land during their northward journey or join a boat tour as they head south.

While sightings in the harbour are rare, whales have been spotted at Rose Bay, Middle Head, Bondi, and Botany Bay over the years.

For your best chance, visit one of the many coastal lookouts on either side of Sydney Harbour — North Head and South Head are easily accessible by public transport.
