Bondi Festival 2026

Mark your calendar and set that reminder because Bondi Festival is back this winter and ready to light up the coast in July 2026!

Bondi Festival 2026

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

Bondi Festival hasn't quite dropped its complete 2026 program yet, but if past years are anything to go by, we're in for a seriously good time down by the beach. Running in early July, the festival transforms Bondi Pavilion and Bondi Park into a winter playground with a creative lineup that blends art, performance and playful installations against that iconic seaside backdrop. Expect a mix of award-winning live music, immersive visual art, theatre, cabaret and comedy across indoor and outdoor spaces, interactive experiences like pop-up rides and markets, plus plenty of family-friendly moments that make Bondi feel a bit like a festival village by the waves.

And of course, the much-loved Bondi Festival Ice Rink and Ferris Wheel are back, alongside a fresh new lineup guaranteed to bring the heat to your winter!
