Across three stages, Festival of Balmain celebrates all-things jazz, while bringing in fresh new sounds and styles from across the community. Headliner Sub-Tribe is a jazz-infused dub-reggae band, whose glitchy beats and soaring harmonies are sure to get you moving. Joining them will be Son Patacore, with their vibrant Colombian rhythms, synth-pop duo Alibii and the sublime songs and dance of Yulugi – and more.

Expect roving performances throughout the day, including Curious Legends' other-worldly puppets, and bopping tunes from Dr Dan and the Gris Gris Combo.

Get creative at a photography or millinery workshop or join a guided history tour. Otherwise, play novelty-sized Jenga before heading down to the Gladstone Park Dog Zone. Be sure to check out Balmain Village Markets, alongside food vendors, local community organisations and local brewers and distillers.
