The Baysie Arts & Street Fest

The Baysie Rollers hosted the first street festival in Bayswater in over three years. 


The Baysie Arts & Street Fest had a huge variety of entertainment and activities including live music across five stages, free music and craft workshops, food stalls and pop-up bars, a dog fashion show, free historical walking tours, an insight into local history and a lantern parade (to name a few activities).


The day was a hot and humid Sunday in March 2019 but we had an incredible turn out of attendees. Guest figures were estimated at around 15,000 people throughout the day with many getting involved in a variety of activities.


We had a great level of involvement from local businesses as well as students and teachers from the three local schools who collaborated with local artists from WizznBang to finish the festival with an interactive lantern parade. Walking along King William Street, the hand-made lanterns illuminated the evening street scape and told a  story of local history, finishing off in Bert Wright Park with musical performances and pyrotechnics display. See the images below for some of the activities captured on the day. Further below is the itinerary of activities.


We're crossing our fingers that we will once again be able to present the Baysie Arts & Street Fest in the future once we are out of the COVID woods.
