Maybe you are a person who loves music or art?
The Walk the Walls festival is coming to the Surf lane Cronulla in November and the street art trail will be a real deal for your ears and eyes.



Street artists will install murals in particular Cronulla laneways to make the neighbourhood more interesting and reduce the unnecessary graffiti and similar. This should bring more visitors to these areas and for this, we can thank the Crime Prevention Grant for a donation of $75,000 from the Department of Justice NSW.



This is going to be a unique weekend of street art and music with Australian Music Week doing the hosting of the live musicians throughout the area. Entrance to this function is free and no booking is required. The function will be from 8th to 10th November 2019 and Sutherland Shire Mayor, Councillor Carmelo Pesce and Attorney General and Member for Cronulla Mark Speakman announced the 2019 joint project. This event is going to help with the success of the Walk the Walls festival in Caringbah to reduce graffiti vandalism in Cronulla CBD.

[b]LOCATIONS:[/b] CRONULLA PLAZA, SURF LANE, CROYDON LANE, CROYDON STREET CAR PARK, and RAIL CORRIDOR



There is going to be three large days with the following:

  • 35 street artists are going to help in this huge project and it is expected that there will also be artists lining up waiting to get a go at painting!
  • 45 large scale murals
  • You can actually watch the artists as they draw the murals live
  • Australian Music Week hosting live musicians throughout the area
  • Activities for the children
  • Entertainment in Monro Park
  • Licensed music event
  • Food trucks in Dunningham Park

  • Walk the Walls is a proud supporter for the Plastic Free Cronulla and they ask visitors to join them in bringing along their own reusable water bottle. They will have Sydney Water refill stations along the street art trail.

    Some of the artists painting here include:

  • Tim 'Phibs'
  • Ox King
  • Minna Leunig
  • Mulga
  • Alex Le Hours
  • Shannon Crees
  • Thomas Jackson
  • Elliott 'Numskull' Routledge

  • They will start the beginnings of the paintings on Friday 8th November with onlookers able to watch for three days of fantastic entertainment as the artists work to finish their masterpieces before sunset on Sunday. There will be a vast idea of different agendas on display including [i]"street art, stencils, posters, sculptural works, pattern making, figurative, portraiture, abstract, illustrative and urban art"[/i] and all this will create an art trail for everyone not to forget!

    There needs to be a special thanks given to the event sponsors:

  • The Leader
  • Ironlak
