Overview

If you know of a better way to celebrate the first month of spring than a flurry of doughnuts, Black Star pastries and limited edition N2 gelato, we'd like to see it. Heralding the more flowery season of the year, Sydney CBD shopping and foodie hub The Galeries is throwing a little mini-festival, Spring Social, with installation art, musicians handpicked by FBi Radio and a handful of Sydney food and drink pop-ups.

Picture a mini-marketplace of your favourite Sydney treats. There'll be eight pop-ups in total, including a Black Star Pastry and N2 Extreme Gelato dessert stand (dear sweet mother of god, what a team). Sydney's extreme baked good lovers Grumpy Donuts will be there, alongside a Lo-Tea stand by new Galeries resident Lotus Dumpling Bar, The Feather Tribe artisan homewares store, Yayoi sake barrel and tasting sessions, and a GIF photobooth. Yep, a GIF photobooth, allowing you to simultaneously enter the draw for a trip for two to Japan and hit it out of the ballpark for your social media presence.

For spring bevs, The Arthouse will have their own pop-up bar with signature cocktails, and FBi Radio have selected some of their favourite bright new artists to perform while you're noshing and sloshing. And it wouldn't be a spring minifest without some pretty, pretty art to go around. Large scale art installation SKYBLOSSOM will take over the central void to launch the festival. Happy sprung.

Spring Social is open Thursday to Sunday from 9am to 9pm.
