HONK! Oz Street Music Festival has been coming to Wollongong each summer. Each year, bands and musicians travel from all over Australia and NZ & USA, freely contributing their time and musical skills to perform a fusion of repertoire from a diverse set of music traditions. In 2025 they are celebrating 10 Years of the festival in Australia!
HONK! Oz is also known for their wonderful and outlandish costumes, some of which will be displayed in Wollongong Library during the exhibition. The street festival will be held 9 -11 January 2025. For more information go to: https://www.honkfest.org.au/
You can see the HONK! Oz exhibition on display
from 2 December 2024 until 28 February 2025 at Wollongong Library.
