    Bondiesta

    Sunday, February 12, 2012

    Bondi Pavilion, Bondi Beach

    Newly rebirthed by the White Party's high-fashion party aesthetic, and renamed as this year's 'Bondiesta', the festival brings this new style to its old digs. Bondiesta's inaugural run will see music across two stages from Clave Contra Clave winners Mi Tierra, Tribalismo's army of DJs and drummers, batucada provided by Rhythm Brazil and more. To go with the sounds, the festival also offers dance workshops, latin craft how-tos, South American food and art markets in the Bondi Pavilion. Also in the pavilion is Emmanuelle Bernard's black and white photo show Rio in Bondi, illustrating the parallels between the two famous beach cities.

Having comprehensively left its mark on the Sydney CBD, this year the Festival is taking its pedestrian mojo a little further west for a reprise of last week's street side, entertainment bacchanal.
