Overview
Not all street festivals are held in the inner west. Sure, it's got Marrickville Festival and Leichhardt's Italian Festa, but the lower north shore has Crown Nest Fest. And it's no small affair — each year, the one-day festival brings in over 50,000 punters.
This year — its big 3-0 — will see Willoughby Road lined with over 200 stallholders hawking food, drinks and other goodies. You'll find pasta in a cheese wheel from Fratelli Fresh, gelato from Bravo Trattoria and Filipino street food from Pasalubongs. You can expect local haunts like The Hayberry, Johnny Bird and Double Cross to get involved, too.
Bands will play throughout the day across two stages, there'll be dancing on another and a cooking stage will see local chefs hosting demonstrations and workshops.
Crows Nest Festival runs from 10am–5pm.
