More information on Darling Harbour Fiesta

Darling Harbour is one big showcase of fun and entertainment. Once a thriving dockland, it was redeveloped in 1988 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia and began with the construction of a large exhibition and conference center, which has been complemented with the addition of shops, restaurants and other attractions. The huge waterfront tourist and leisure park literally hums with its emphasis on family entertainment. Highlights include Sydney Aquarium, the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sega World, the Chinese Garden, Star City Casino, the enormous ! ;IMAX Cinema and the Powerhouse Museum. Darling Harbour is a year-round beehive of activity with events for the entire family winter, spring, summer, and fall. Over the Christmas holiday season, the harbor is a magical festival featuring live music, entertainment, Christmas tree lighting, search-for-Santa, and Christmas carols. So, if you're travels find you in Sydney during the holiday season, Darling Harbour is the place to be.
