Set against the scenic backdrop of Tench Reserve, this year's festival explores the theme of flight with immersive art installations, interactive experiences and captivating performances that inspire imagination and wonder.

By day, enjoy hands-on workshops, family-friendly activities and as night falls, the foreshore transforms into an illuminated playground of light, colour and creativity. Join the festival on Sunday for on-water adventures along the river including free rides on the iconic Nepean Belle.

Feast on a delicious selection of international street food from some of Sydney's favourite food trucks, with something to satisfy every craving.
Whether you're gathering with family or catching up with friends, Real Festival offers a unique riverside experience for all ages.
