Bondi Festival invites local businesses and artists to take part in Waverley Council's annual winter arts festival.
Develop your own event, ticketed or free, and we'll promote it in our 2025 festival program. For artists, this could mean finding an unexpected venue to perform, run a workshop or exhibit your work in. For businesses, you can host a performance in your store, present a special offer to festival-goers, or surprise us with your own unique event.
Whatever your idea, we'd love to hear about it and feature it as part of our incredible Bondi Locals program.
What are the benefits of getting involved?
- Cultural engagement with the Waverley community and visitors.
- Engagement with existing customers and potential new customers through direct access to thousands of participants.
- An audience of locals and visitors excited to experience your art.
- The opportunity to be part of an exciting and evolving local arts festival in our iconic Bondi neighbourhood.
- Event inclusion and promotion via the Bondi Festival website
- Inclusion in the overall festival marketing, social media and publicity campaigns
- Festival-branded digital assets to help promote your event
