How to get involved in Sydney Streets

Make the most of our popular street events this summer - bring your trading or dining outdoors, apply for event space, host a pop-up stall and more.

The celebration of some of our favourite local neighbourhoods continues. Parts of Potts Point, Darlinghurst, Pyrmont, Glebe, Redfern and Surry Hills once again become car-free zones for Sydney Streets over various weekends from February to April.

The streets will come alive with live music, outdoor dining, games and entertainment for the whole family. For some locations small stages with programmed entertainment will keep the party going from late afternoon and into the evening.

Make the most of these community events

Local businesses and organisations can host in-store activations to attract customers, drink and dining offers, giveaways, pop-up stalls or apply to extend trading and dining outdoors.

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

If you’re a performer, artist or community group interested in performing or sharing your talents, apply now to take part.

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