Surry Hills Festival will return in 2017 to celebrate one of Sydney’s most vibrant suburbs.

The springtime event is set to attract some 60,000 punters to a series of free and family-friendly events around the precinct, spanning Ward Park and Devonshire Street, Crown Street, Shannon Reserve, laneways, pop-up spaces and more.

As usual, there’ll be a litany of live music on the day, plus food, art and local stories.

Applications are now open for bands, artists and vendors to get involved, and video makers, artists and performers are also invited to apply for Double Take: a three-week projection and pop-up installation display in the heart of Surry Hills.

Surry Hills Festival 2017 takes place on Saturday September 23, 10am-10pm. Entry is free by donation.
