HONK! Oz Street Music Festival 

HONK! Oz Street Music Festival is an outdoor spectacle featuring alternative community bands and related arts.  Completely free, and volunteer run, Honk Oz is a Parade! a Party! A Raucous celebration! Lots of Fun! Energetic, Irreverent, revelrous and with a somewhat DIY approach to instrumentation and attire.  Honk bands perform to celebrate; to protest; to proclaim; some play for peace, some for activist causes; for community spirit and all of them play to have fun!!!!

HONK! Oz was founded by members of The Con Artists - a  community ensemble based at Wollongong Conservatorium of Music. The concept was supported by The Illawarra Folk Club who generously provided funding to mount the first festival as a fringe event of the Illawarra Folk festival in January 2015.
