There might be rain forecast but that never dampens Sydney’s spirits, especially when there’s a Sydney Streets party to attend. Tomorrow it’s Redfern’s turn to up the ante as Redfern St is pedestrianised for the day. It’s an opportunity for local businesses to showcase their offerings with special offers and pop-ups, along with live music, entertainment, family activities and alfresco dining lining the street.

If you’re not sure what to do this weekend or find yourself at a loose end, this is the place to be—and you can take the whole family too.

Sydney Streets is back this weekend

City of Sydney’s street part series brings festival-style street parties to swathes of Sydney during six Saturdays in summer and autumn.

The parties start at 11am and run into the night, with streets pedestrianised to make way for outdoor dining, roving entertainment and live music. Each party begins with a smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country to acknowledge, and facilitated by, the traditional custodians of the land. The the family-friendly fun begins.

What’s on at Redfern Street tomorrow?

While the formula of each Sydney Streets party remains largely the same, the activities themselves differ giving each party a different personality. Stanley Street, for example, is regarded as the party of all parties, while Redfern Street is a more laid-back event with lots of family activities. Here’s what you can expect:

11am-4pm: Face painters, garden games and Boomali hand painting workshop

12pm-5pm: Circus Playground

119 Redfern Street

11am-11:15am: Welcome to Country
