Sydney will be getting another full version of the Dress Up Attack! festival after a successful mini-version at this year’s Vivid LIVE.

The arts and music festival for kids and their big kids will be held in September, offering performances, theatre and workshops.

The lineup includes Kimya Dawson, known for her solo career (The Moldy Peaches, The Bundles), Oz cult heroes Custard, Bunny Racket and Angie Who, plus local schoolteacher and musician Benny Time.

The National Institute of Dramatic Art will also be hosting workshops with sessions for age groups of 2-5 and 6-8, stimulating children’s imagination and introducing them to performance-based storytelling.

Paint What You Hear will also host a series of workshops in collaboration with musicians Erica Rasmussen and visual artist Zakiya Kurdi.

Theatre performances will be put on by Awesome People Reading Books. Plus locally sourced food and drinks will be available on the day, but families are welcome to bring their own.

Dress Up Attack will take place at Sydney Portugal Community Club, Marrickville on Saturday September 17. Tickets start from $28.60 and can be found here.
