SATURDAY 20th MARCH 2027 4-9PM
A free community festival celebrating art, music, food and connection.
Art&Eats returns on Saturday 20th March 2027, bringing together local artists, musicians, photographers, food vendors and neighbours for an evening of creativity, conversation and community spirit.
Held across St Mark’s, The Gap and the Ruby Red Jewellery precinct in The Gap, Art&Eats is a relaxed, family-friendly festival that celebrates local talent while raising funds for our charity partner, Trek2Health.
Doors open at 4:00 pm, with live music, art exhibitions, food trucks and a welcoming bar running through until 9:00 pm.
A Festival Designed for Community
The Art&Eats event is on a Saturday afternoon and evening format, making it easier for families, friends and the wider community to attend and enjoy the full experience.
The evening unfolds gradually, starting with acoustic performances as guests arrive, before building into high-energy live music near the food and bar area.
Inside, the art exhibition runs throughout the night, offering a calm and inspiring space to explore and connect with artists.
Live Music That Builds All Evening
Art&Eats features a carefully curated live music program that evolves as the night unfolds.
Across the afternoon and evening, enjoy:
Whether you are listening closely or soaking it up from the lawn with food and friends, the music is designed to be part of the shared experience.
Performance Program
Performances take place across two locations: the Trek2Health tent near the entrance, and the Bar Stage on the lawn near the food and bar area.
Set times may be updated as final confirmations come in. Please check back closer to the event.
