Twilight at Taronga

Each year, Taronga Zoo hosts the Twilight at Taronga festival, which is a summer concert series with an array of fantastic musical acts over 17 days.

Taronga Zoo is a world-class zoo located in the city of Sydney, right on the shores of the iconic Sydney Harbour.

Gates open at 6pm every night and the show finishes around 9:45pm. Attendees are welcome to bring a picnic as this event is best enjoyed on a picnic rug on the grass. You are permitted to bring low-level chairs, however, those with tall back or high chairs will be asked to move to the rear of the concert lawn.
