Art & About Oxford Street
Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October
A free 3-day event befitting one of Sydney’s most distinctive neighbourhoods.
From Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October, more than 40 hours of free creative programming will transform Oxford and surrounding streets with dance, music, drag, performance, visual art, workshops, markets and light installations.
The event is part of the City of Sydney’s year-round Art & About program and its broader goal to revitalise Oxford Street as a dynamic cultural and creative precinct.
The weekend will begin with Bourke Street closed to traffic from 5pm to 10pm on Friday, creating an inspiring space for dance performances, DJs, drag and roving entertainment.
Highlights across the weekend include a 24-hour light installation in Taylor Square, themed banner galleries honouring the area’s history, arts and creative workshops, cabaret and comedy, a one-woman play, interactive artworks and pop-up performances along Oxford Street.
Visitors can also explore the Saturday farmers market with fresh produce, artisan goods, coffee, fresh flowers, retail, art and gourmet street food.
