By 1992, the Festival had become the city’s main public event. With the year signifying Sydney County Council’s 150th anniversary, the Sydney Sesqui celebrations began during the Festival time.
Events included the Sydney International Jazz Festival, celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the Harbour Bridge, parades, Naval Salutes, spectacular concerts and international sporting events.
