HONK! Oz Street Music Festival 8th-10th January 2026 

​Completely free, and volunteer run, HONK! Oz Street Music Festival is an outdoor spectacle featuring alternative community bands and related arts.  Irreverent, revelrous and with a somewhat DIY approach to instrumentation and attire, Honk Oz 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!!!!

  • Friday 9th January 2026 (workshops & Port Kembla Performances)
