Pedestrian Sundays is about celebrating community, culture and ecology. It occurs on the last Sunday of every month from May to October.

By regularly reclaiming our streets from the mess of traffic and parking, our neighbourhood enjoys the opportunity to express its character. It’s simple, we remove the automobile and the streets become a cultural playground – an expression of our community’s diverse ethnicity, age and interests.

Pedestrian Sundays are homemade – from the signs, to the music, to the giant pinatas, it’s the human touch that sets these apart from other street festivals. Entertainers play for love not money; from the metal band of the baker’s kid, to the jazz of the world renowned sax-playing neighbour. From movement inspired yoga & capoeira, to cooking and drawing classes, culture comes from behind closed doors and out into the street, delightfully blurring the line between performer and audience.
