Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Sydney! It's Friday, November 14, 2025, and I’m Oly Bennet—your trusty guide for wild adventures and unforgettable moments in Australia’s legendary Harbour City. Let’s get this party started because Sydney is radiating energy today, with the sun shining and spring temperatures hovering around the mid-20s. Whether you’re a local legend or a curious traveller, there’s a slice of quirky, vibrant Sydney with your name on it.

Sydney’s current vibe? Pure buzz. The weather’s giving main-character energy—so pack your sunnies and prep your best walkabout shoes. The Women UNLIMITED Leadership Summit just wrapped up, sending a wave of positivity across town after appearances from Hillary Clinton and Julia Gillard. If you hear spontaneous high-fives and pep talks on the streets, blame it on that summit of kindness!

Craving culture? Tonight, get ready for “Every Wild Idea” at Woollahra’s Critical Path, 7 PM; icons of movement and choreography are lighting up the stage with jaw-dropping performances, a 20-year celebration of artistic wildness. Concert fiends, get hyped—Evanescence storms the stage at Metro Theatre at 8 PM. Expect hair flips, angsty anthems, and at least one dramatic guitar solo that’ll make you question your life choices.

More into foodie shenanigans or family adventures? The Good Food & Wine Show Christmas Market is rolling in, serving up festive magic with over 150 producers of artisan delights—imagine sipping mulled wine with a truffled cheese in hand while deciding which gourmet stall to tackle next. If you’ve got little sports enthusiasts or baby aficionados in tow, One Fine Baby Expo launches tomorrow; it’s a bonanza of baby gear and belly laughs for parents across Sydney at ICC Darling Harbour.

For history buffs and supernatural seekers, the Phantom Pursuit Sydney Investigation Tour will have you chasing ghosts and urban legends around Millers Point. Don’t worry—if you bump into a poltergeist, just tell them Oly Bennet sent you!

If nightlife is your spirit animal, Latin Nights by the Bay are back, promising salsa rhythms that'll turn even the most stubborn wallflower into a dance floor dynamo. Of course, Sydney always delivers on after-dark dazzle, from rooftop bars with panoramic harbour views to under-the-radar comedy gigs in Surry Hills.

What’s new on the Sydney scene? A couple of gastronomic heavyweights just opened downtown—local chatter has crowned Kobeya as the sushi spot to beat, with chef-tossed nigiri that’s practically a spiritual experience. On the move? CityRail has added late-night trains for safer and snappier travel, so no excuses for missing out on the fun!

If you’re still building your itinerary, don’t skip a ferry ride across Sydney Harbour, swing by Taronga Zoo, or book a sightseeing cruise from Circular Quay—classic charm and epic views guaranteed. If you’re feeling bold, hunt for street art in Newtown and reward yourself with an epic gelato from Messina. For a behind-the-scenes thrill, check out the hidden alleys of The Rocks. Word is, some corners still echo with whispers from Sydney’s wild colonial days.

Local tip: Try asking “How ya going?” instead of “How are you?”—instant street cred. And if you find yourself waiting for ages at a bus stop, it’s not you, it’s Sydney’s unpredictable transit gods. Always have a backup snack!

Before you dash off or channel your inner rockstar, mark your calendar for Greek Fest @ Bay Street this Sunday—think beachside souvlaki, live Greek bands, and dance groups shaking it from noon till night. And for those scoring tomorrow’s gig list, the Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons is arriving for game lovers and symphony seekers alike.

For all that and a suitcase full of sports oddities, listen in tomorrow—Sydney never runs out of surprises!
