Overview
As part of Parramatta Nights, the richly diverse Street Festival is rolling into the western CBD, bringing with it celebration, flavour and a juicy squeeze of live music. Over two weekends this March, Phillip Street and surrounds will play host to five outdoor stages, which will be taken to by both local and international performers. Experience the thrill of being in the bustling crowd at a live music event again, while you bop to Jamaican dancehall or vibe-heavy R&B, before catching a Korean rap set or the joyous brassy notes of a jazz performance.
Scoot on down to Phillip Street at 5pm on Friday, March 18, to start your festivities with the community Holi celebration, bearing witness to (and participating in) the smoky rainbow of colours filling the air. On the opening weekend, you can also groove to an energetic mix of Sister Nancy and Legal Shot Sound at the Erby Place Block Party.
Weekend two is sure to get the crowds going too, with the Pist Idiots taking their Australian rock tunes straight to the Justice Stage. Meanwhile, on Saturday, Erby Place boasts a female- and non-binary-led lineup, with Jesswar and Kymie front and centre.
Street Festival also has a stellar cast of bites to keep energy levels sky high. Archie Rose will be behind the bar mixing gin-laden cocktails, and tastes from all over will be dished out by the likes of Butter, Flavours of Spain and the Raza Central food truck, which will be serving up flavour-laden El Salvadorian favourites like piping-hot pupusas (grilled tortillas filled with cheese) and accompanying horchata.
Street Festival is free to enter. Under-18s will be required to have a parent or guardian present. To find out more and explore the full program, head to the website.
