Local businesses, artists and groups are invited to help transform our streets into vibrant hubs of music, food and creativity this summer.
This summer, our streets will come alive with North Sydney Streets - a series of one-day community events that turn key locations into pedestrian-friendly zones filled with entertainment, music, food and creativity.

Get involved
1. Opportunities for local businesses on the event routes
How you can activate your space:
- Host live music or performances
- Run workshops or product demos
- Hold book readings or art exhibitions
- Offer exclusive in-store promotions or pop-up deals
- Collaborate with local artists or creatives
You’re welcome to use the footpath outside your business for displays or activities - no extra permit needed, subject to guidelines.
There are two ways to get involved:
Option A: Got a great idea?
Tell us what you’re planning - Council may provide up to $500 in funding to help make it happen.
Option B: Need help with ideas?
Let us know you’re interested, and we’ll help match you with a performer, artist or concept to activate your space.
2. Perform at North Sydney Streets
Are you a local performer, artist or community group? We’re looking for creative acts to bring energy and surprise to our North Sydney Streets events.
We’re not using a main stage - instead, we’re looking for roving performances and interactive activities that move through the event space. Think music, dance, live art, circus, cultural performances and more.
