Crowds of festival goers will gather at Sydney's iconic Newtown Festival on Sunday 14 November, 2010 at Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, for a celebration of the World on your Street. Newtown Festival is one of Sydney's largest and longest running free community festivals, creating an annual community celebration of creativity, diversity, sustainability and inclusion. Each year more than 60,000 people gather at the festival to become part of an amazing fusion of music, the arts and grassroots community expression. More than 280 stalls will showcase artwork and hand crafted fashions from local artisans, as well as unique gifts and crafts from around the globe.
Three entertainment stages will offer a selection of Sydney's best, with live bands, acoustic and world music featured throughout the day, and The Vocal Local Village stage showcasing emerging talent and local community artists.

A huge kids and family zone offers families a fantastic day out. Kids will love the activities and interactive workshops, amusement rides, puppet shows and amazing line up of Kids entertainers. Street performers and roving acts will surprise you, and the annual Newtown Festival Dog Show is always great entertainment!
