10 Best Sydney Summer Events to Commemorate With Wristbands

Silicone wristbands and bracelets have been around since the 1980s. But in those days, they were mainly used for fashion.

However, the use of wristbands has grown since then. They are now one of the most practical, and cost-effective marketing tools. In fact, customised options available today offer more than the basics. Aside from having the event title and the organiser’s name on the wristband, other details can also be included. Also, they can be used as identification materials and as event giveaways.

Wristbands come in a wide range of colours and materials. As well as silicone, there are Tyvek and fabric wristbands as well. So, if you’ve got an upcoming summer event in Sydney, why not use wristbands? This way, you can hit two birds with one stone. You can use them for marketing, and as event memorabilia. To help you come up with ideas, here’s a list of upcoming Sydney events where wristbands would certainly work great:

2019 Melbourne Cup

Many people look forward to the Melbourne Cup, and it's happening on the first Tuesday of November (November 5). It is Australia’s most popular horse racing extravaganza. It's called ‘the race that stops the nation’ and it's attended by the rich and famous, and everyone else in between.

Christmas Festivities

The Woolworths Carols in the Domain are happening on December 21. Aside from this event, everyone will have their own kind of holiday fun this December. If you’re having a Christmas work event in the office, or a fundraiser in your own community or school, why not use customised wristbands? They can definitely make your event more meaningful and memorable.

New Year Celebrations

Witness the fireworks at the harbour. Ring in the New Year in the company of over a million people flocking to Sydney for New Year’s Eve. Or hold your own New Year event with your nearest and dearest. And make sure to include wristbands as part of your giveaways.

After New Year’s Eve, people in Sydney gear up next for the Sydney Festival. This 2020, it’s happening from January 8 till January 26. Mark it on your calendar to enjoy a bit of theatre, visual art, and so much more.

Chinese New Year Festival
