For all of our resident Sydneysiders and for those visiting from near and afar, I have put together a Top 10 List of Things to Do in Sydney during September. As always, Sydney presents a fantastic choice of activities and events to choose from – from exhibitions, to fashion shows, to sporting and cultural events, Sydney pulls out all the stops. Here goes – let’s see how many we can get through!
1. Sydney Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival
If you fancy yourself a style-setter with a keen eye for a fashion bargain, this is just the ticket. Fashion Festival Fix starts with general admission to a show of your choice and culminates in access to all the buzz of the Fashion Festival Hub (home to beauty consultations, freebies, the festival bar and more). Ticket prices start at $35 for general admission or for an exclusive VIP experience pay $150 to be Front Row and Fabulous!
When: 24th-27th September

Have you ever wanted to get the look with make-up that the professionals achieve? Would you like to learn to apply your make-up to really enhance your beauty and your style? And would you enjoy feeling beautiful on the inside too: more confident, more relaxed and more authentically yourself?
If this sounds like you, the Mindful Beauty Workshop has been designed with you in mind.
When: 28th September
Where: Bondi Junction
The theme for Eurofest is cross cultural awareness. The idea is to give the local ethnic community an opportunity to showcase their cultures, and the rest of the area an opportunity to visit and demystify the clubs. Above all the festival is a fun day for all the family.
When: 13th & 14th September
Where: Ararat Reserve, Frenches Forest
5. Blackmores Running Festival
Join in the fun of the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival on Sunday 21st September and enjoy Australia's most scenic course. All four events start in Bradfield Park, Milson's Point and travel over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
