What's on at Bondi Festival?

Waverley Council's much-loved arts festival is bringing the fun to frosty days and crisp evenings with a jam-packed celebration of comedy, theatre, music and more. Expect returning favourites, exciting new acts, and a few surprises to keep you on your toes.

The 2026 Program

The 2026 Bondi Festival runs from 3-19 July, filling Bondi Pavilion, Bondi Park and the beachfront with comedy, theatre, live music, art and plenty to explore between shows.

Festival favourites return too, including the Ice Rink, Bondi Vista Ferris Wheel, Food Markets and Music in the Park, while the colourful interactive Accordion installation by Amigo & Amigo is already lighting up the Pavilion Courtyard (20 June to 28 July 2026). More highlights include the 40th Waverley Art Prize, the free Fifty Years of Deadly NAIDOC Week music event, Paw Parade, comedy shows, immersive theatre and glowing artworks across Bondi Park to close the festival.
