NSW hotels and clubs will keep their doors open for longer for special events this year, to help support the State’s hospitality industry and night-time economy.
 
Minister for Hospitality and Racing, Kevin Anderson said the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government was pleased to confirm more extensions to trading hours for special events in 2023, including the Tamworth Country Music Festival, World Pride Sydney, the NRL Grand Final and Vivid Sydney.
 
These extensions will provide an extra 44 hours of trading across the year and will deliver a huge boost to our State’s hospitality industry, by creating more jobs and boosting business, while giving patrons more opportunities to socialise at venues during and after special events,” Mr Anderson said. 
 
“The 2023 events calendar is taking shape and will be an exciting year, with the NSW Government already approving 20 special extensions, giving people more options to enjoy major sports, arts and cultural events.” 
 
Hotels and registered clubs can trade for longer to celebrate the special cultural and sporting events on the days listed below:
