The much-loved Uncontained Arts Festival is back for its sixth year, set to transform Kogarah into a vibrant winter playground from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 June. The festival has grown into a standout event in the region, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Uncontained brings together immersive art installations, dynamic live performances, hands-on workshops, and a delicious line-up of food trucks. Whether it’s discovering glowing art, enjoying live music, or sharing street eats, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Visitors can expect drop-in creative activities, roving performers, and live mural painting, alongside vibrant light installations that bring the streets to life after dark.
