Artarmon Street Festival set to light up Hampden Road with fun and entertainment

Willoughby City Council

Residents of Willoughby and surrounds are invited to a day of fun and excitement at the Artarmon Street Festival.

Celebrate the newly upgraded Artarmon Village at this family-friendly event, with games, rides and entertainment for all ages.

The shops along Hampden Rd will come alive with delicious outdoor dining offerings while local retailers and community organisations showcase their unique products, services and interactive experiences.

Willoughby City Council Mayor Tanya Taylor emphasised the importance of the festival for the community. “The Artarmon Street Festival highlights our commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and creating vibrant spaces for residents and visitors,” she said. “This year’s festival promises activities and entertainment for everyone, among the setting of the newly upgraded streetscape.”

The Artarmon Street Festival will take place on Saturday, November 9, 2024, 10am to 4pm on Hampden Road which will be temporarily closed to vehicles, and opened up to people, for the event.

The Artarmon Street Festival is proudly funded by the NSW Government's Open Streets Program, led by Transport for NSW.

Minister for Roads, Arts, Music and the Night-Time Economy, Jobs and Tourism John Graham said:

“We’re excited to support this event in Artarmon.

“Too often our main streets are something we drive through, rather than drive to. Our streets are a critical part of our public and social infrastructure. Great streets make great towns and centres and reflect the local community and culture.

“The Open Streets program is about temporarily transforming our main streets into vibrant and welcoming public event spaces.

“The colour and diversity of these 130 events celebrates the unique personality of each town or suburb. This is what our vibrancy agenda is all about, backing locals to create events and entertainment that works for their local community."

Visitors are encouraged to use public transport, walk, or ride to the event due to limited street parking.
