Celebrate Wollongong’s unique art and culture at our annual Viva la Gong festival!
Viva la Gong brings the city centre’s MacCabe Park to life on the second Saturday in November.
With great live music and performances, art installations, play zones, food and crafts, Viva is loads of fun for all ages. You can also be part of the action with interactive art and performance workshops, or take part in the community parade.
We also run smaller satellite events in the lead-up, so keep an eye out for your chance to take part.
