“I know the community will embrace the Campsie Street Festival with open arms. 

Small businesses are keen to demonstrate their strength and resilience – and also serve up some amazing regional cuisine for festival-goers,” Mayor Asfour said.

“We’re looking forward to a street party atmosphere where people from all over Sydney can come together and celebrate. We can’t wait to kick things off from 11am on Saturday 21 May.”
