EDGE GreenWay

Overview

The Inner West Council's 2019 EDGE program, which is aimed at celebrating local communities and talent, is kicking off this month, with a one-day festival of art, culture and nature. On Saturday, March 30, locals are encouraged to explore this intersection between urban spaces, known as the GreenWay, through an afternoon of interactive installations, performances and tours.

The immersive arts experience includes seven sensory 'eco-zones' based around the Lilyfield Road Pedestrian Bridge, all focused on the environment. Expect outdoor sculptures, art installations, local makers, live music and artist performances. The festivities will kick off with a plane-themed party in a vintage aeroplane. Meanwhile, Aboriginal elders and environmentalists will give tours on everything from sustainable design to microalgae species, a sunset lantern parade will usher in Earth Hour and there'll be an anti-gravity finale performance by physical theatre company Legs on the Wall.

Apart from the arts program, you'll find food trucks and a pop-up bar, with complimentary botanical mocktails getting passed around. BYO picnics are also encouraged, so you'll have plenty of ways to stay fueled throughout the night.

EDGE GreenWay will take place between 3–9pm on Saturday, March 30. For more information on the EDGE Greenway program and to check out the full list of upcoming festivals, visit the website.
