The Winter Festival is Proudly funded by the NSW Government.
WHAT'S ON
LIVE BANDS AND DJS
A line-up of Aussie musical talent will be hitting the stage in Tumbalong Park to heat up this winter.
Catch sets from the likes of bonafide party starters Furnace & The Fundamentals, a new act born from one of Australia’s former leading dance bands, Martini Club; Bermuda Social Club; one of Australia’s most entertaining acts, Hot Potato Band; and pop and retro-rock Soul Movers, led by frontwoman Lizzie Mack together with the legendary OG-Red-Wiggle, Murray Cook. More acts to heat up the chilly winter nights include La Fiesta Sound System, Sir Archer, Soul of Sydney, and Baker Boys Band, along with DJs Beth Yen and Lauren Neko.
Winter Warmer Foodie Market
There'll be many stalls and food trucks serving up some awesome bites from the likes of Burgerhead, Firepop, Gelatissimo, Urban Gypsy Cafe, Toastiesmith, Bubble Nini, Okonomiyaki, The Fudge Shop, Wafflo, and more!
Warm up with mulled wine and craft beers from one of the pop-up bars in the park and dance the day away to the live music pumping from the Tumbalong Park stage.
Chill out (or warm up) in the winter themed Pop-up Igloos
Each Igloo is styled, taking inspiration from iconic international ski fields – Whistler, Canada; Niseko, Japan; Cardrona, New Zealand; Courchevel, France; and Aspen, USA. The igloos can be booked for up to 6 people for $65 per hour, which includes a round of drinks such as mulled wine and Bailey’s hot chocolate. Additional drinks will be available to purchase by the igloos for those who’d like to try a wide selection of other drinks.
