Bringing festival vibes to our local neighbourhoods

From November 2025 to March 2026, Sydney Streets brings a day of fun, food, and entertainment to local neighbourhoods. These one-day special events take over some of our most-loved high streets. They’re closed to traffic, bringing them alive with live music, outdoor dining, games and entertainment for the whole family.

Local businesses and organisations will host various in-store and pop-up attractions from dining and drink offers, giveaways to alfresco dining, competitions and classes.

Along with enabling road closures, we’ll provide some acoustic roving entertainment, chairs and tables around the street and portable toilets.

About Sydney Streets

Sydney Streets was originally created as part of our community recovery plan, supporting the economic and social recovery of businesses and local communities impacted by the pandemic.

Sydney Streets is supported by a comprehensive campaign including online and print advertising, signage, notifications across City of Sydney facilities along with social media and media.

Our landing destination is What’s On – a one-stop hub to find the best things to do in Sydney.
