Each year sees William Street close to cars, with the usual traffic replaced with fun and frivolity spilling out onto the road for the annual William Street Festival. This Saturday, October 20 will be the community festival's tenth year — and it will be celebrating with a full day of laneway festivities.
What happens? Well, all of the boutiques along this well-known shopping strip swap their usual trading for parties, with drinks, food and deals galore to lure you away from the Westfields of the world and back to the simple joy of wandering around the poky streets of Paddo.
As well as live music, street art and swing dancing, you'll be lining your stomach with some of the best food and wine the area has to offer. Duck in and out of 10 William Street, the Paddo Inn, Cipri and The London.
