Playing alongside them will be many new and emerging young artists, some of whom will be playing their first gig.

From 10am to 10pm, the newest "it" place-to-be will house festive fun and food trucks, with market stalls tied in the mix too.

The event is part of a growing number of initiatives created by Shellharbour City Council to grow the city's cultural landscape.
