Mosman’s biggest community celebration is back this spring, with the 2025 Festival of Mosman set to light up the lower north shore from 23 October to 2 November.

The action-packed, 11-day program features nearly 80 events, ranging from family favourites to exciting new experiences. Many are free of charge, while others require bookings or tickets – and locals are being urged to plan ahead to secure a spot.

From open-air cinema to Pets Day Out, there is something for everyone at the Festival of Mosman.
