Spring in Bondi doesn’t tiptoe in — it throws a street party. On 11 October, Glenayr Avenue transforms into a bustling festival strip, lined with sizzling street food, live music, market stalls, roving performers and that unmistakable Bondi energy. This is not your standard weekend market; it’s a full-day urban takeover where tacos meet dumplings, Beach Road pours schooners into the street, and the MC keeps the laughs rolling while the sun goes down.

It’s part community festival, part street-side gig, part food crawl — with none of the try-hard. This is the kind of day that reminds you why Bondi has its own gravitational pull.
