What’s on in Sydney in November 2024

There is lots to see and do in Sydney in November and our comprehensive list will help you find all the top events and some of the more obscure but equally interesting ones.

In the last four weeks of spring, the city enjoys some of the loveliest weather of the year. It is also Jacaranda season when a purple haze covers the footpaths of many Sydney suburbs.

No large annual events mean prices in hotels are reasonable and attractions are not as busy as they will become in the next few months.

Average Temperatures: 24-16°C (61-75°F)
While each year varies last November saw seven days of rain.
