Newtown Festival is an iconic Sydney festival, creating an annual community celebration of creativity, diversity, sustainability and inclusion. Each year more than 80,000 people gather at the festival to become part of an amazing fusion of music, the arts and grassroots community expression. Newtown Festival is organised by the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre (NNC) and for more than 30 years the centre has given the festival to its community as a free event.
Festival day offers a diverse programme with:
* 3 music stages
* Huge kids and family zone
* Vocal Local Village presenting an extraordinary programme, from puppetry to punk, theatre to Tango
* Writers Stage
* Eco area - learn, shop, clothes swap and discuss
* Cycling Area
* Interactive workshops
* Street Theatre and Art Spaces
* Newtown Festival Dog Show
* 280 market stalls
* Food stalls offering a taste of the globe
* Licensed bars
The Festival is an important event in the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre’s calendar with ALL monies raised by the Festival returned to the Centre to provide community support services to the local community and in particular the disadvantaged groups such as the aged, people with disabilities, people who are homeless, people with mental illness, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people on low incomes.
