Get ready to dance in the street, graze all day and soak up the best of the Balmain peninsula 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. Headliner SUB-TRIBE is a jazz-infused dub-reggae band, whose glitchy beats and soaring harmonies are sure to get you moving. Joining them will be Son Patacore, with their vibrant Colombian rhythms, synth-pop duo Alibii and the sublime songs and dance of Yulugi – to name a few – alongside performances from local schools and next-generation talent.
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 tour of one of Balmain’s historical landmarks. Otherwise, play a game of novelty-sized Jenga before bringing your pooch 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.
