Oracle of DelphiDo people travel for an Arts Festival?
April 18th 2007 05:52
The Sydney Writer's Festival is coming up and although I am quite interested in it, and many other Sydney folk are too, I wonder whether people travel to Sydney for it, just as they might a music festival.
The festival runs from May 28th to June 3rd, which is Monday to Sunday and it plays hosts to a huge amount of events from a wide variety of writers coming from all over Australia and the world.
I think people travel within Australia for music festivals, because of the associated party atmosphere and not merely the content. I don't know that writers' festivals really have that same sense of party. I would expect a sense of manners to be displayed, at least for the most part.
I'm not going to start listing writers, as different authors and events will appeal to different people, but I will say there are around 300 free and ticketed events all around the city and suburban parts of Sydney.
