Indulge in the most wondrous sensory experience this winter as Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority presents the 12th annual Rocks Aroma Festival – a paradise of coffee, chocolate, tea, chai, spice and all things nice on Sunday 19 July.
For the first time ever at Aroma you can explore the exotic taste sensations of South America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East all at the stunning harbour-side environment of The Rocks. There will be free entertainment at four unique destinations with the music matching the theme of the region. This year you can even take a camel ride from The Orient to The Oasis!
From 10am–5pm The Rocks will be a caffeine-lovers heaven as Australia’s biggest coffee festival takes over the streets with more than 100 stalls, six stages of live entertainment, a Domestic Coffee Machine Expo as well as cooking and coffee-making demonstrations throughout the day.
Try delicious coffees for just $2 a cup or warm up with exotic teas, fine chocolate, fragrant spices, decadent sweet treats and aromatic chai. With more than 100 different stalls to choose from, you can discover new and out-of-the-ordinary delights all in the one scenic location at The Rocks.
Escape to The Oasis at Hickson Road Reserve and be magically whisked away to exotic lands with Turkish coffee, belly dancing, sweet treats, palm trees and even camel rides! Samba your way to First Fleet Park and soak in the colour and vibrancy of the South American Latin Quarter and taste Brazilian teas.
Bask in the gentle serenity by the water at Campbells Cove at The Orient and try some exotic herbal teas, classic brews, Japanese coffees, chai and spices.
The Continent will feature European style and pizzazz with the best blends from Italy, France, Spain as well as delicious sweet treats from Portugal and Holland. Follow The Continent along George Street to The Rocks Square and Overseas Passenger Terminal forecourt and you will feel like you’re in Little Italy with espressos in the piazza and accordions in The Square.
Sydney’s favourite winter event attracts more than 100,000 people each year so mark your diaries and warm up with a steaming brew and drink in the unique atmosphere of Aroma.
There is something to see and or do around every corner in The Rocks. Catching public transport to The Rocks is simple and there is also car parking nearby.
