Celebrating creativity in all its forms, the Arts Alive Festival Wollondilly 2025 is set to bring a vibrant and inclusive cultural experience to the Wollondilly Shire this October. Proudly funded by the NSW Government's Open Streets Program and led by Transport for NSW, this free local event promises an exciting array of activities and activations designed to engage all ages and backgrounds.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Wollondilly, the festival will transform the centre of Picton into a lively hub of artistic expression, featuring a vibrant street party, live performances, hands-on workshops, and stunning visual light displays. Attendees can enjoy roving artists, diverse market stalls, and a variety of food trucks, creating a dynamic atmosphere that celebrates the region’s rich cultural landscape.

In addition to visual arts, music, theatre, and dance, the festival highlights cultural diversity and emerging talent alongside established artists. The Wollondilly Performing Arts Centre will offer guided tours and free performances of the theatre production The Gardener's Apprentice. The program also includes interactive workshops, arts and makers markets, an art exhibition, Aboriginal weaving workshops, Aboriginal dance and music, Japanese drumming, and craft activities.

With its strong community focus, the Arts Alive Festival fosters participation, connection, and pride within Wollondilly, making it a must-visit event for art enthusiasts and families seeking an enriching cultural experience.
