Sydney In April - Take Advantage Of Your Time Off Work

It seems like January was just lagging after the New Year celebrations. until February and March went by in a blur – we’re already in April! April is pretty much the best month in the first half of the year, due to its typical laid-backness and the generous amount of holidays that comes along with it. And thankfully, the temperatures are continuing to fall, and ong weekends are coming up, meaning more time to experience the very best of Sydney!

The ANZAC Day dawn ceremony, Easter treats bringing in the hot cross buns, irresistible autumn discounts on cruises, and more – here’s what we will be checking out this month.

Science dinner cruises on Sydney Harbour

Sydney’s autumn nights are as delightful as the days, the cooler temperature adds to the city’s thrilling nightlife and makes for a pleasant evening. If you’re in the mood for some indulgence, then take advantage of the current deals on popular Sydney Harbour dinner cruises. As the sun slowly fades away into the horizon, the city lights start to twinkle one by one, creating a magical ambience that’s both romantic and exciting.

Take to the harbour and glide along the calm harbour waterways, soaking up the autumnal air, and the stunning harbour ambience, before cruising past the lit-up Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge! Settle in for a memorable dining experience right next to this incredible panorama – savour world-class cuisines and pair them with refreshing drinks!

An iconic Easter Show

Perhaps the biggest and most anticipated event of the month would be the annual Sydney Royal Easter Show. Held every year in the Sydney Olympic Park, across the Easter long weekend, this extravagant carnival-like event is a go-to for families looking to have endless fun during the holidays.

Expect the very best of NSW farm produce from the biggest players of the industry, animal shows, motorbike and skateboard stunt shows, woodchopping competitions, fashion shows, numerous carnival rides and games, and everything else you can think of when you picture a massive carnival! But the major magnet for the kids in Sydney is the ever-popular Showbag pavilion, a bag of Easter goodies that can be bought.

Festivals & Markets

April sure ain’t slowing down when it comes to cultural activities and entertainment. Bring some friends and experience the 10th annual Serbian Festival in Pyrmont Bay Park where there is loads of fun for all ages. Fall in love with the Serbian hospitality, and enjoy a ton of live entertainment, music, dancing, laughter, food and drink!

The ladies can get their shopping game on at Round She Goes market, the biggest treasure trove of preloved and classic fashion for women. Exclusive only for just one day, get your gal pals together and browse through a well curated selection of handpicked stalls – discover everything from preloved chic fashion to custom-made jewelries and accessories.

Not-to-be-missed Dawn Services

The national day where we commemorate and pay homage to the heroes who've served and fallen for the good of the country - Anzac Day. Even though there are Dawn Services held throughout the country, I strongly recommend attending the one at Martin Place, and the parade through George Street towards the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.

Attending a Dawn Service is a must-do for every Aussie at least once in their lifetime because of the profound sense of pride, solemnity, and respect that permeates throughout the day, unlike any other day of the year. And after the ceremonies, and parades, everyone hits the pub and tries their luck on Two-Up!

Ultimately, April is a wonderful time to relax and explore what Sydney has to offer with your favourite group. The vibrant foliage and the mild weather makes it the perfect time to be outdoors and embrace the scenic beauty of Sydney.
