February vacations usually give you the best Sydney weather.

January's excessive humidity has eased a little but the weather's still very warm - perfect for lazy evenings outdoors.

January's open air cinema is still going strong all around Sydney, summer music festivals are still pumping out the music, and now February holidays add a whole new batch of fun things to do.

Short Film Festivals

Short film festivals

It's been going for over 20 years, and today Tropfest one of the world's best and biggest short film festivals.

It's certainly the richest.

It is also one of Sydney's biggest outdoor February events.

Pack a picnic and join thousands of Sydneysiders in the Domain to watch the films and cheer on the winners.

And you're almost certain to get a celebrity or two in your sights as well. They're always there.

Sydney Mardi Gras

The Sydney Mardi Gras Parade is not till early March, but the festival itself takes up much of February.

It starts with the Fair Day and continues on through shopping extravaganzas, music and theatre performances, art and cabaret and much, much more.

A celebration of gay pride, it's also a celebration of diversity and equality in our community.

There's a serious side too, under all the froth and glamour. A great deal of work is put into supporting political activism - gay marriage is the current hot issue.

Serious or frivolous, it's a great month with lots of February events for everyone to enjoy.
