The Langston Weekender

Overview

The northwest suburb of Epping is set to host its own one-off festival when the first (and last) Langston Weekender hits town later this month. Launching into summer from Friday, November 30, until Sunday, December 2, the event will descend on buildings, carparks and roads surrounding Langston Place's soon-to-be demolished Westpac building — the soon-to-be demolished The three-day celebrations will transform the precinct into a hive of fun and colour, complete with market stalls, food and drink pop-ups, entertainment and art.

A dedicated foodie hub will play host to a plethora of favourites, including Jerusalem-style street food from Knafeh, baked goods from Brickfields Bakery, sammies from Satriale's Deli, and specialties from Koi Dessert Bar, Burgers By Josh and Mecca Coffee. Meanwhile, a broad-ranging live music program will make its home within specially converted site The Underground, backed by libations from the likes of Grasshopper Bar and Wayward Brewing Co.

Throw in live art performances by Andrew Dennis and Zara Pasfield and a special happy hour offering (to be announced via the event's Facebook page), and you've got yourself one heck of a street party. It'll also be one last chance to enjoy the space before it turns into a construction site for new development The Langston.
