Surry Hills has had a facelift, so to celebrate all the rejuvenated parks and new pocket parks and of course, new light rail, we’re having a picnic! Grab a Picnic walking map to find participating venues, schedule of entertainment and after event programming in our local pubs and venues.
Thanks to our guests and restaurants for last weeks Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival dining walk of Surry Hills. We were a small but enthusiastic group.of food lovers who loved all our courses. Very international too with a Sydney-based couple originally from LA, a Hamburg resident - who is currently globe trotting and a Chinese/Australian plus the (originally) Kiwi guide!
Last night at Paddington Town Hall Sydney Mardi Gra launched the 2016 Festival Season! With Courtney Act - MG Global Ambassador - strutting out to perform her opening number in a fringed neon cape. Then keeping us amused throughout the speeches with various anecdotes. The festival is two weeks packed with everything from bear picnics to Underwear parties and queer film galore. The Sydney Connection is staging two dining walk events in Surry Hills & Darlinghurst in our third year as part of the festival programme.
