Bondi Pavilion’s pretty impressive 2026 arts program features free world-class events

The beloved Bondi Pav isn’t just a pretty face. The shining star of Bondi’s foreshore area might be the go-to for a beachside brunch or classic fish and chips, but it’s also a beating heart for an incredible rotating program of world-class talent. 

The 2026 artistic program is shaping up to be pretty major. From January to December, you can catch more than 30 events and performances that are tailored to every age and interest – a whole heap of which are free. 

Celebrate International Women’s Day in the coolest way possible with the all-female indie takeover event 'Amplify', watch acrobats defy gravity in ‘In Common’, catch acclaimed journalists Lisa Wilkinson and Mia Friedman in conversation, bring the little ones to the accessible and inclusive ‘Emma Memma in Concert’, see Bondi in a new light in the acclaimed wintertime Bondi Festival and a whole heap more.
