LIVE TRAFFIC NSW FOR UPDATES

Paint The Town Laneway Festival

Ward Lane, Mittagong

Event Date: 15 Apr 2023, 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Southern Tablelands Arts and Mental are excited to announce the free, family event, Paint The
Town Laneway Festival happening this April 15th in Mittagong. Building on the success of last
year’s Big Little Laneway Festival, this year’s edition will take over the carpark too, and feature
more art and interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy. Ward Lane.

The event will launch the fantastic Paint the Town street art festival, which brings nationally
established artists to work simultaneously with local talent to create murals that reflect our recovery
journey since the 2019 summer fires. Appearing throughout the Southern Highlands this year and
Wollondilly in 2022, PAINT THE TOWN murals are inspired by co-design workshops held with fire
affected community members and seek to bring colour, vibrancy and culture to our region and
represent their voices and insights. Artist Joe Quilter will lead the team, with mural icons Scottie
Marsh and Muralisto joining over the festival.


The daytime event, starting at 12pm, will feature live music from local and regional artists with free
art workshops running- including a chance to participate in a live mural! Make a badge with
Southern Tablelands Arts, get weaving with our First Nation’s weavers or hunker down on some
delicious food from Lil’Piggy. Get in early for a chance to hear the amazing voice of Shard or hang
for the local-legendary linguist Peter Campbell and headliner, superstar Jerikye Williams at 3pm! As
the sun sets, the Mental Dj’s will keep you dancing until 5pm.


This event has been made possible with support from the Black Summer Bushfire Grants Program
and Wingecarribee Council.
