However, music fans don't have to wait that long to get a taste of the sixth annual HONK! Oz Festival of Street Music.
The festival launch and fundraiser will take place at Centro CBD, Wollongong this Friday, October 18 from 6pm.
"We want to live in a place where people are getting out there and being a part of their community, enjoying themselves and playing music in the streets," music director David Rooney said.
"The result is a three-day street party that is raucous, fun, energetic and slightly irreverent."
Curious Rendition Orchestra, The Con Artists and Les Femmes Fatales will perform at the launch.
The launch event will also feature an evening of music, raffles and costumes, as well as a silent auction.
Entry is by donation. Raffle prizes and silent auction items can also be donated.
HONK! Oz is a free non-commercial music festival run by volunteers and boosted by community donations.
