Concrete Playground

Crave: the festival's festival. An event created on behalf of the NSW government to draw dollars, jobs and foreign folk to our soil, Crave is a celebration of the artistic, culinary and aesthetic offerings of our dear resplendent Sydney - basically an excuse to be the big fat show-offs that we are. 

It’s the technicoloured umbrella under which a buffet of joyous events will occur throughout October, including the Sydney International Food Festival, Art & About and the Darling Harbour Fiesta. 

‘31 days of food, out-door art and fun’ they say, and you don’t even have to pay for them all. Free events include Breakfast on the bridge where you and 6,000 other cheery early morning revelers will be given the opportunity to down your hash browns atop a national icon. Beat that Rio and your peacock-feathered Carnaval.
