Revel with family and friends this autumn as Willoughby City Council treats Sydneysiders to 23 days of fun curated specially to remind us of Chatswood’s rich, colourful and vibrant culture.
Starting on May 6 and running right through until May 29, Chatswood Nights features a food trail that pays homage to the local businesses affected by the pandemic while also celebrating the diversity of the suburb’s food precinct. From Korean to Malaysian and North American bites, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Prepare to be transported to Paris, Rome or Barcelona as different artists playing world music take to the stage every Friday as part of the Chatswood Live at Night program.
And you won’t want to miss the world-class 3D animation projection created by Limelight (a Hungarian 3D projection-mapping team) and Ukrainian refugee animator Svetlana Reinish. It will light up the Concourse Concert Hall facade nightly, and follows the journey of a gnome escaping its garden to explore the world.
That’s not all – follow the map of discovery to find 12 giant lit-up inflatable gnomes scattered throughout Chatswood’s key public spaces. They all have their own unique personalities, and are inspired by the suburb’s ethnic diversity. Snap yourself with the gnomes to enter the Roaming Gnomes competition, with a massive $20,000 in prizes up for grabs. The more gnomes you visit the more chances you have to win.
Chatswood Nights is all about community, inclusivity, good vibes and even better food. For more information on the free event, head to the website.
