Lane Cove Festival is run by, and for, the community and celebrates everything that makes living in Lane Cove so special.

In 2025, Council is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Sydney Fringe Festival, marking a bold step forward in activating Lane Cove’s cultural venues and positioning the community as a vibrant creative hub on Sydney’s north shore. The month-long partnership features performances from Lane Cove locals to Fringe Favourites, and even an international act!

This innovative collaboration will bring Sydney Fringe Festival’s signature energy and diverse programming to Lane Cove, aligning with Council’s strategic goal to maximise its world-class performance and cultural spaces. By weaving Sydney Fringe’s dynamic independent arts programming into Lane Cove Festival, the partnership will broaden audience engagement, support local talent, and foster a thriving arts scene for residents and visitors alike.

Celebrate life by Lane Cove River at the Festival by the River. There’s something for all ages including the signature event of the festival: Food and Wine by the River.
