A 17-day festival at Australia’s most famous beach with a Ferris wheel, ice-skating rink, theatre shows and art.

When winter rolls around, Bondi becomes a hub of Ferris wheel rides, art shows, live music, history walks and fringe events for the annual Winter Magic and Bondi Feast events.

Setting up once more will be Bondi Vista, a ferris wheel that’ll send you soaring 22 metres above the sand. From July 1st to July 17th, you can go for a spin and feast your eyes on 360-degree views. On one side, you’ll be gazing at wild waves, endless horizon and open sky. On the other, look out for glimpses of the city skyline.

If you prefer to spin in circles on the ground, you can do just that at an ice-skating rink. Between rides on both circular attractions, you can check out an extravaganza of circus, burlesque, comedy and theatre, with shows popping up throughout the suburb. Walking tours and events for families will also be on the bill, and all in a COVID-safe way, of course.

So far, only the basic details have been announced, with the full program due to release in May. But, you can start pencilling some frosty beachside action into your calendar anyway.
