Dance in the street, graze all day and soak up the best of Balmain as Darling Street is transformed into a lively neighbourhood celebration. 

Across three stages, Festival of Balmain celebrates all-things jazz, while bringing in fresh new sounds and styles from across the community. The soaring harmonies and jazz-infused, glitchy beats headliners SUB-TRIBE are sure to get you up and moving, alongside the vibrant Colombian rhythms of local outfit Son Patacore, synth-pop duo ALIBII and the sublime songs and dance of Yulugi - and so many more exciting local acts! 

Expect roving performances throughout the day, including Curious Legends’ other-worldly, oversized puppets, and bopping tunes from Dr Dan and the Gris Gris Combo

Get creative at a photography or millinery workshop or join a guided local history tour. Otherwise, play some novelty-sized Jenga before heading down to the Gladstone Park Dog Zone. And be sure to check out the creative stalls, curated by Balmain Village Markets, alongside a diverse array of food vendors, local community organisations and local brewers and distillers.
