Triple Treat Opens Sydney Festival

Three vastly different outdoor events are the highlight happenings on Day One, January 5, of the Sydney Festival — and they're free to the public.

There's Fun Run at Hyde Park, The Arrival at Darling Harbour and Daptone Super Soul Revue with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings in the Domain.

The Sydney Festival, with a wide variety of festival events, continues until January 27.
