Culture Vibes

Sydney never slows down, but spring has a special way of cranking up the good times. And now, there’s a fresh new festival joining the party: the inaugural Culture Vibes festival is landing in Kensington Park on Saturday, October 18, from 3-10pm.

Hosted by Randwick City Council, this one-day celebration brings a jam-packed program of global beats, eats and art. Expect cultural workshops, drumming performances from House of Rhythm, roving performers from puppeteers Curious Legends and an epic art installation from Amigo and Amigo titled ‘Unity’. There'll also be a pop-up bar slinging drinks all day long and plenty of prime picnic spots, all set to a live soundtrack of DJs and music from around the world.

Eat your way through the international food stalls serving up everything from empanadas and souvlakis to dumplings, Dutch pancakes, wood-fired pizza and Portuguese tarts.

Then, hit the markets where you can find all kinds of homewares, clothing and accessories from global stallholders. Think Palestinian-inspired embroidered accessories, organic vegan Mexican chocolate, Parisian-designed fashion, African wax-fabric pieces and natural goodies made from native Aussie botanicals.

The best part: it's completely free. Just bring your blanket or camping chairs and settle in for a few solid hours (or the whole day) of culture, community and sunshine.
