Deaf Festival Sydney is Australia’s largest celebration of Deaf Culture & Community.
Since the 1980s, the Deaf Sydney Festival has been Australia’s premier bilingual and bicultural Deaf community event. It’s been held annually at various locations, including Darling Harbour and Parramatta River. In 2021, it moved to Sydney Olympic Park.
Each year we host over 3,000 Deaf community members, Auslan users, Deaf-friendly businesses and allies from across Australia and internationally who join us in Sydney to celebrate and connect.
