Roaming entertainers, carnival rides, live music, dessert trucks, a licensed pop-up bar, an
open-air cinema and more will be on offer at Wander on Q when it returns on Saturday, October 12.
From 4pm to 10pm, visitors can enjoy attractions across three unique zones located in and
around the Queen Street CBD, including grant-funded business-led activations and decorative
festoon lighting connecting each space.
“Wander On Q received great support from our community when it first launched in 2022,
giving residents and visitors a chance to explore Campbelltown CBD in a fresh and exciting
way,” said Mayor George Greiss.
“This year we’re putting the spotlight on business owners in our CBD, to help visitors discover
some new local favourites, as well as one-night-only attractions,” Dr Greiss said.
“I look forward to seeing everyone join us for a great night of celebration in our CBD,” he said.
This year’s event is co-funded by Transport for NSW, who will contribute $150,000 through the Open Streets Program as part of the NSW Government’s Vibrant Streets Package.
“We’re excited to support this event in Campbelltown,” said John Graham, the NSW minister for the night-time economy.
“Too often our main streets are something we drive through, rather than drive to. Our streets are a critical part of our public and social infrastructure.
“Great streets make great towns and centres and reflect the local community and culture,” Mr Graham said.
“The Open Streets program is about temporarily transforming our main streets into vibrant and welcoming public event spaces.’’
Campbelltown Arts Centre will join this year’s celebration with an art activation space at Forum Q, including live dance performances, art workshops and slug chair installations through Anzac Lane.
Attendees can also enjoy a Campbelltown City Council Youth Action Team-led space at Lithgow Street and Fashion Lane at Patrick Street.
An 18+ licensed pop-up bar hosted by The Campbell will be available to attendees throughout the event.
Visitors looking to embrace the festivities early can watch King’s Kebab House in Queen Street, from 2pm, as they attempt to break the Guinness world record for the longest halal snack pack.
To host the event festivities, streets around Campbelltown CBD will be closed in the lead-up to
the event, including Queen Street and Patrick Street (7am to 1am), Lithgow Street (7am to 1am) and Dumaresq Street (11am to 1am).
