Kiama Council is supporting a number of events over the next four months, dubbing this as our “festival season” and offering a full schedule of entertainment for all tastes and interests.

The season kicks off with the enchanting “Folk by the Sea” festival next weekend. Get ready to be swept away by the melodic tunes, exhilarating activities, and unforgettable experiences.

The fun continues, with one of our hometown favourites, the free and fantastic KISS Arts Festival; then we’re presenting a series of music festivals as well as some unique sporting and cultural events.

First time events Jamberoo JAM Street Festival, Kiamasala, Clearly Music and Arts Festival, Changing Tides Festival, Dave Ferrit Festival will be setting a new benchmark for events in Kiama and will add to annual favourites such as our iconic New Years Eve Sky Show and the return of the Red Hot Summer Tour.

Destination Kiama supports each of these events via the Destination Event Funding Program (round 2 opening in December 2023), while the Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program fund is assisting us to present the last of the street festival series at Jamberoo in October.
