What's on at Darling Harbour this November

10 November 2026 · MuMian Dining, Darling Quarter

November is a big month on the Darling Harbour side of the city. The TikTok Entertainment Centre has a concert or show most weekends, and ICC Sydney's Exhibition Centre fills up with expos in the last week of the month. MuMian Dining sits in Darling Quarter, facing Tumbalong Park, about a 5 to 10 minute walk from both venues, so it is an easy place to start or finish the night.

Concerts and shows

Evening concerts suit an early dinner: our kitchen opens at 5pm every night, which leaves time for a relaxed meal of roast duck, dim sum and live seafood before you walk over. If you are coming from work, book a table for 5 or 5:30pm and let us know you have a show to get to.

Expo weekends

Visiting an expo during the day? Lunch is served Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 3pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 3:30pm. Handmade dim sum and Cantonese BBQ make a good break from the show floor, and the 28–29 November weekend is a natural fit for weekend yum cha.

Dirty Dancing in Concert, 28–29 November

The film plays on the big screen with a live band at the Darling Harbour Theatre, ICC Sydney, with sessions at 3pm and 8pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday. For the 3pm Saturday or 1pm Sunday sessions, come to MuMian for lunch first. For the 8pm Saturday session, dinner from 5pm works well.
