Sydney\u2019s Cahill Expressway at Circular Quay will be transformed into one of the world\u2019s most spectacular party venues tonight when ELEVATE Sydney kicks off.
Tens of thousands of ticketholders will revel to more than 120 Australian performers over five nights, four days and 13 sessions, with the iconic Sydney Harbour as the awe-inspiring backdrop.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said ELEVATE Sydney would remind the world why the Harbour City is the Asia Pacific\u2019s best major events destination.
\u201cThis novel setting on the Cahill Expressway with its stunning views offers a very unique experience and I\u2019m not surprised to hear tickets for ELEVATE Sydney were snapped up very quickly,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\u201cSydneysiders and visitors are ready to keep the festivities going well into the new year and we\u2019re meeting that demand with another incredible event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got the greatest city on earth, we\u2019ve got incredible summer weather and for the next five nights and four days we\u2019ll be showing the world why Sydney is the place to be in 2023.\u201d
Minister for Tourism Ben Franklin said the 30,000 ticketholders would enjoy the unique outdoor entertainment and cultural celebration with acts from children\u2019s entertainers to electronic music plus a nightly SkyShow and some of the best local food and wine.
\u201cAll the tickets to this free event have been snapped up and we know that everyone that attends will enjoy a memorable experience,\u201d Mr Franklin said.
\u201cThe NSW Government is committed to delivering world-class events like ELEVATE Sydney that showcase our vibrant CBD and support Sydney\u2019s night-time economy, to achieve our goal of making Sydney and NSW the major events capital and premier visitor economy of the Asia Pacific.\u201d
ELEVATE Sydney will return for its second year and run from 3 \u2013 7 January 2023. The SkyShow will take place nightly at approximately 10:30 pm, pending weather conditions. The Long Bar will be open from 4-7 January during ELEVATE Social in the afternoons and ELEVATE Nights.
The Cahill Expressway will be closed to traffic and pedestrians during ELEVATE Sydney and will reopen on Monday 9 January, with public transport and alternate routes available for visitors and residents.
