Concrete Playground

Winterland is Sydney's coolest festival. Get it? Coolest? Winterland? Yep, awesome. There's just nothing like a good kitschy pun. Especially when said kitschy pun is accompanied by ice skating, mulled wine, German bratwurst, Italian hot chocolate (that's the thick one), karaoke, Winterland markets curated by the Finders Keepers, evenings of live music, a crafternoon and oh so much more wintery goodness.

Throughout July, CarriageWorks is celebrating winter in Sydney by making it good and European-like. Forget about thinking that ice skating is lame; it's not. It's rad. Thursday nights are for live music (July 29 2SER presents new and unsigned bands), Friday nights are for discos on ice, Saturday nights are for music, karaoke and changing the world. The ice rink, markets and cafe and bar are open on Thursday and Friday nights, all day Saturday and school holidays. And this is all just the tip of the iceberg.

CarriageWorks is just about the coldest place in Sydney as it is, so bust out your mittens and get into Winterland.
