Backed by the Transport for NSW's Open Streets Program, Kiama's Winter Street Festival this Saturday (12pm - 8pm), is set to once again bring warmth, wonder, and a whole lot of fun to the heart of town – all while supporting local business and community spirit.
Terralong Street will transform into a vibrant pedestrian precinct filled with art, live music, dance, wellness, workshops and interactive performances, plus delicious food and late-night shopping under a wintery wonderland glow.
We invite you to join the celebration of the season in the heart of Kiama. Gather your friends and family, rug up, and get ready to experience the magic. There's something for everyone, and we can't wait to see you there!
"Events like the Winter Street Festival, backed by state funding, are a great example of how we can deliver vibrant, high-impact experiences that align with our Tourism and Events Strategy," Kiama Mayor, Cameron McDonald said. "By focusing on our off-peak period, we're supporting year-round visitation, boosting local business, and doing it all in a way that is sustainable and financially responsible."
Chair of Destination Kiama, Cr Matt Brown is excited to deliver another great event for the community, "By partnering with our local businesses and holding the festival during the off-peak tourism period, we're not only bringing energy and life to the town centre but also supporting our economy when it's needed most. It's a great example of what can be achieved when we collaborate with purpose."
