Expect an incredible lineup of 40 live acts spread across multiple stages, food trucks packed into the precinct, and local bars and restaurants keeping the energy going all night long.
From high-energy drumming troops and vibrant samba dancers to drag queens, circus acts, and roving street performers, there’s continuous entertainment around every corner.
This year’s full lineup will feature an eclectic mix of live music, stage and street performers, face painting, and family-friendly activities.
Joining the party are critically acclaimed soul-reggae group Soul Power featuring Darren Mathieson. Late-night brass band Saxy Time and festival favourites Wellington Batucada are back again this year with more performers yet to be announced.
Plan your night:
Early evening (4pm onwards):
Perfect for families! Grab a bite to eat, enjoy the kids' disco, and catch the early entertainment.
Later on (8pm to midnight):
Cath the party bands hitting the main stages and food and drink specials from venues along Courtenay, Blair, and Allen Streets.
