Bring your friends and even your four-legged companions on leash to enjoy the festivities.
The event features extended trading hours from local traders, a kid's zone with creative scratch art, large outdoor games, and a silent disco suitable for all ages. Cozy fire pits and a unique mobile sauna experience add to the cosy vibes.
Whether you're craving street food, shopping local, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, this celebration promises a memorable winter evening.
The Winter Solstice event runs from 16:00 to 21:30 on Saturday, 20 June 2026. Live music performances take place on two stages: the Main Stage at Gurrs Road/Jetty Road intersection and the Esplanade Stage. Featured artists include Rebma Rose, DJ Marley Love, The Longest Road, and The South Season.
