South Sydney’s own FREE immersive Arts Festival returns to Kogarah

Georges River Council

Georges River Council’s enthralling Un[contained] Arts Festival is returning to Kogarah this winter from Friday 19 July to Sunday 21 July 2024.

Now in its fourth iteration, this year’s Festival is sponsored by VJB Group and Sydney Water. It will showcase art, installations, live performances and a range of food trucks with delectable options at Kogarah Town Square, along Belgrave Street, Kogarah.

Breaking free from a traditional gallery space and encouraging community participation, key themes to be explored include sustainability, environment, technology and AI. The festival welcomes people from all walks of life and abilities, encouraging them to immerse themselves in creativity and celebrate the liveliness of the Georges River area.

Georges River Council Mayor Sam Elmir said he was thrilled that the event was returning to the streets of Kogarah.

“Council is proud to be delivering the Un[contained] Arts Festival for 2024. We had 40,000 people attend last year – both locals and visitors – and I hope we can attract more people this year.

“It’s an exciting, free community event open for all ages, and what better way to end the school holidays enjoying art, roving performances and food?

“I look forward to attending the festival to enjoy the festivities, rub shoulders with our community and see them interact with the artworks.

“I’d also like to extend my thanks to VJB Group and Sydney Water for supporting this event,” added the Mayor.

Date: Friday 19 July – Sunday 21 July 2024.

Time: 4.30pm – 10.00pm.
