The celebration of some of our favourite local neighbourhoods continues. Village high streets once again become car-free zones for Sydney Streets over various weekends from September to November.

We’ll provide roving entertainment – musicians, dancers, child-friendly entertainers and more – as well as outdoor furniture and portable toilets. For some locations small stages with programmed entertainment will keep the party going from late afternoon and into the evening.

Local businesses and organisations can host in-store activations to attract customers and apply to extend trading outdoors.

If your business or organisation is located on or around one of the high streets below, join us and help create lively, memorable events:

• Saturday 23 September – Redfern Street, Redfern
• Saturday 30 September - parts of Dixon, Hay, Little Hay and Sussex streets, Haymarket
• Saturday 14 October – Glebe Point Road, Glebe
• Saturday 21 October - Stanley Street, Darlinghurst
• Saturday 4 November - Crown Street, Surry Hills
• Saturday 11 November - Harris Street, Pyrmont
• Saturday 18 November - Macleay Street, Potts Point

2024 events running from February to April will be announced later this year. See how you can get involved in Sydney Streets.

From face painting to special menus, yoghurt eating competitions to doggy-treat giveaways, there have been some great ideas to create unique events and special offers that bring in customers.

Over in Surry Hills, Masala Theory’s food stall served up curry bombs, Mumbai margaritas and fresh tunes.

Markd Tattoos in Redfern welcomed walk-ins for one day only – giving customers the chance to jump the waiting lists and get a quick tattoo from specialist artists.

Lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs like the Lord Roberts in Darlinghurst took their table service roadside for customers to enjoy alfresco dining.

In Redfern, kids and adults enjoyed painting classes by Sydney Creative while enjoying pizza from neighbour restaurant La Coppola.

In Redfern, Face Furniture and Other Things displayed their offer of medium readings, hair braiding and Italian homewares.
