Get ready! The inaugural Creative Streets Festival is set to flip the Armidale CBD on its head!
From Friday 17 October to Sunday 9 November, the streets will come alive with a bold celebration of art, music, ideas, and community. This year’s theme, AMPLIFY, invites everyone to turn up the volume on creativity and connection.
Expect a full-blown explosion of colour and culture, with jaw-dropping local performances, hands-on workshops, global flavours, and tech-powered experiences that will spark your imagination. Whether you're grooving to live beats, diving into interactive art, or exploring new ideas, this is your moment to celebrate the Armidale Region’s creative spirit in its loudest, proudest, and most playful form.
Opening night kicks off on Friday 17 October from 5pm to 9.30pm, spanning Marsh Street, East End Mall, Confetti Lane, Bank Lane, and Beardy Street (to the big Welder’s Dog).
This isn’t just a festival, it’s a creative collision. Artists, performers, tech wizards, and culinary creators will come together to co-create something extraordinary. Whether you're grooving to live beats, exploring interactive installations, or tasting dishes that reflect our region’s global village vibe, this is your moment to celebrate our shared story through art, culture, and collaboration.
Join us to amplify creativity, culture, community, experience, and possibility, and show the world what makes the Armidale Region the creative heart of Northern NSW.
