Feel the Festive Vibes as ‘Sydney Streets’ Returns on Redfern Street

Here’s to another year of programs that will transform some of Sydney’s streets into car-free zones on weekends to make way for events that bring plenty of live music, entertainment, and alfresco dining. See what local businesses have in store for Redfern Street in 2023.



Festival vibes fill the air on Redfern Street where a day of fun awaits visitors as businesses bring out their best. So expect heaps of offers, games, activations and much more.

The Tudor Hotel and The Redfern will bring in pop-up bars whilst Atomic Beer Project’s ‘Hoptimus’ truck will set up for games and a beer garden.

Love collecting vinyl records? Watch out because there will also be a vinyl record fair coming your way plus live bands and DJs courtesy of The Sunshine Inn and Redfern’s first small bar, The Dock.

Now for tattoo enthusiasts, you can now skip the long waitlist just to get inked by signature artists because Markd Tattoo will also be there to host another flash day. Or join a painting class for children and adults at Sydney Collective.

How about snacks, you say? Donut Papi has got you covered. Indulge in their special flavours including their best-seller Pandan Coconut Glaze and all-time favourites Bavarian Cream and OG Glaze. Then sip frozen mangonadas from Itacate Mexican Deli.



The event happens Saturday 11 March 2023 and runs from 11 am to 10 pm. 

Note: The area will be closed to traffic from 9 am to 11.30 pm between Regent Street and Chalmers Street. Special event clearway parking restrictions will also be in effect so check signs carefully, visit livetraffic.com for more info.
