The popular Uncontained Arts Festival is back for its sixth year from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 June 2026!
A free, family-friendly event, the festival will once again take over Belgrave Street and Kogarah Town Square. It invites the community to enjoy an exciting open-air gallery full of creativity, colour, and connection.
Uncontained is designed to spark imagination across all ages. Whether it's discovering glowing art, enjoying live music, or sharing street eats, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Visitors can expect drop-in creative activities, roving performers, and live mural painting. Bright light displays will light up the streets at night, and families can join in fun activities. Art lovers will find inspiration in creative works by contemporary artists.
This year's program focuses on reuse and sustainability, as well as play and interaction, and the natural environment. The festival encourages people to experience art in fun, meaningful, and unexpected ways.
Uncontained has become a stand-out event in the region. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year and has also received national recognition. This includes a nomination for Best Arts Festival at the Australian Street Art Awards.
The festival is supported by event sponsor Sydney Water, highlighting the creativity and diversity of the Georges River community. It also provides an accessible and inclusive event for all.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said, "Uncontained is a free event that has something for everyone, sparking curiosity and generating a sense of play.
"The festival has grown to become a key event in our community's calendar. It's more than just a festival. It brings together different forms of artworks, installations and performances to create a captivating atmosphere.
"I encourage all members of our community to come down to Kogarah to enjoy some free winter fun!"
