Danks Street Festival, Waterloo, Sydney

When’s It On: Sunday 26 October 2008 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

The Danks Street Festival in Waterloo is a great way to pass the time on a Sunday afternoon.

According to the official website, “this fabulous event celebrates one of Sydney’s most interesting precincts with exhibitions from local galleries, an artists’ market, a food market selling fresh produce, live bands, a bar and DJs.”

If you’re visiting Sydney on holiday, it’s unlikely that you would ordinarily get to Danks Street, Waterloo.

So take advantage of this festival and get to see a side of Sydney that has nothing to do with beaches nor harbour.

Featured bands and DJs at Danks Street include Boom Band Krewe, The Resurrectors, Tracy Redhead, The Donovans, DJ Leigh Wood and DJ Steve Griffiths. I have never heard of any of them, but they could be good.

Also at the Danks Street Festival will be art galleries as well as an Artists’ Market and a Design Market.

Of course, you can expect to find all the food and drink stalls you usually see at festivals such as these.

Location: Corner of Danks Street and Young Street, Waterloo. Catch bus 343 down Elizabeth Street and get off at the corner of Phillip Street, parallel to Danks Street. Or you could catch buses 301-304 or 339 from Circular Quay and get off at Bourke Street.
