Newtown knows how to eat, it knows how to drink, and boy does it know how to party. Whether you’re a Newtowner or an out-of-towner, we suggest pulling up your party pants and getting down to this massive one-day street festival on Saturday, December 7. The whole of Eliza Street will be shut down from 1-8pm and transformed into a runway of colour and energy with live tunes, legendary burgers and ice-cold tinnies.
With two years under its belt, you can expect Newtown Street Party’s third edition to be an absolute riot. We have the beer juggernauts at Young Henrys and their best mates at the Courthouse to thank for this epic celebration, which will mark 12 years since the first schooner of Newtowner (Young Henrys’ first flagship brew) was poured at the hotel.
You can toast the first week of summer with drinks flowing from multiple pop-up bars along the street, then fuel up with woodfired pizzas from the beloved Public House Petersham and porchetta rolls by The Bank Hotel.
Throughout the afternoon, partygoers can jam out to a stacked line-up of all-star rock and indie artists including Caitlin Hartnett and the Pony Boys, Velvet Trip and a very special DJ set by the OG Red Wiggle, Murray Cook himself.
Young Henrys’ co-founder Oscar Mcmahon says that the event is “all about bringing people together – good mates, great music, and cold beers right in the heart of our backyard.”
The party is an entry-via-donation event with entry proceeds going to Newtown Neighbourhood Centre. You can find out more here.
