Welcome to Festival Community! This is a brand new section of our website designed for like-minded Festival-goers to visit and get more involved in Sydney Festival 2008. There will be exclusive info on shows and artists, behind-the-scenes gossip and prizes to be won.
Sydney Festival is so much more than just the venues in which you see our fantastic shows. Where to meet friends for a drink or something to eat before a show? What Festival bars stay open late to shake your booty after a show? Being part of the Festival Community is an online - and on the ground - experience. Enjoy the best of the Festival with friends and family while you're out and about - and then share your thoughts online afterwards.
Very shortly we'll be launching the Festival Community page in all its glory. You'll be able to upload photos, blog your hot tips pre-Festival and then during the Festival your show reviews. Watch this space as we add more interactive functions over the coming weeks!
