Latin Nights by the Bay

Sway into the Weekend at Darling Harbour

Share with:

Warm air, harbour views and music that makes it impossible to sit still. Every Friday night, Palm Grove at Darling Harbour transforms into an open-air dance floor as Latin rhythms take over the waterfront.

Just a short walk 7 minute stroll from Hotel Woolstore 1888, you can join Sydney’s most infectious weekly celebration of salsa, bachata, mambo and everything in between. No dress code. No pressure. Just good music, friendly faces and a night that feels like a holiday.

Maybe it’s date night. Maybe it’s catching up with friends. Maybe it’s stepping out of your comfort zone just enough to surprise yourself. Whatever brings you there, Latin Nights is where the weekend begins with a little extra fire.

The best part? It’s free and everyone is welcome — seasoned dancers, shy beginners, curious spectators and those simply passing by.

Before or after the moves

With Darling Harbour’s bars and restaurants right beside the dance floor, you can pair the night with alfresco drinks or a bite to eat before heading back along the water to your room in Pyrmont.

Make a Friday night feel like a celebration. The harbour is waiting for you to take the first step.
