We have the opportunity to move the Footprints Eco Festival to a new site in 2026.
This move means that we need to postpone the Footprints Eco Festival just for 2025 as we prepare to relocate the festival to the new address.
The Inner West Sustainability Hub—housed in a repurposed Council depot— has been transformed into a vibrant centre for community sustainability, education and collaboration.
As part of this renewed focus, the popular Footprints Eco Festival will relocate from Whites Creek to the Inner West Sustainability Hub in 2026, where it will become a flagship event on the Hub’s event calendar in 2026 onwards.
Our vision is to create a more immersive, site-based sustainability experience that can grow with our community—bringing even more residents, stallholders and environmental partners along for the journey.
Over the coming months, Council will be working closely with our circular economy partners including Dress for Success, The Bower, RePlace and Council’s Green Living Centre, to continue to bring the site to life and encourage Inner West residents to engage with the space and its various sustainability initiatives.
This ongoing innovation to the Hub's programming and promotion will lay the groundwork for a strong Footprints Festival return in 2026. We’ll open stallholder and exhibitor expressions of interest through the usual channels in due course. You will be notified when EOI's for the 2026 festival open.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we pause for 2025 to recalibrate our efforts. We are very much looking forward to working with you again for Footprints Eco Festival in 2026.
