Spot On 2025 is returning to Randwick this spring, bringing live music, food and family fun back to The Spot. The community festival will also expand to Coogee in 2026, with a new trial series called Coogee Nights planned along Coogee Bay Road.
Spot On 2025 to Light Up Randwick Streets Again
Spot On 2025 returns to Randwick this spring, bringing music, food and family fun back to The Spot after a successful 2024 series. St Pauls Street will again transform into a pedestrian-only zone, celebrating local culture and boosting night-time activity.
From September to October 2025, six Thursday night events will run fortnightly at The Spot, featuring live music, roving performers and open-air dining. Randwick Council says the program will keep its focus on supporting small businesses and offering safe, family-friendly entertainment.
Backed by Strong Community Support
Spot On’s return follows strong community support and positive feedback from local businesses in 2024. Council said road closures brought more people to shops and cafés, helping boost trade and activate public spaces.
Council described the response to Spot On 2024 as a clear sign that locals want more events that bring the community together and make use of outdoor spaces. Planning has since been underway to build on that momentum for 2025.
Expansion into Coogee and Future Plans
In early 2026, the festival will expand to Coogee with four trial “Coogee Nights” along Coogee Bay Road, expected to feature live entertainment and footpath dining.
Randwick Council has also flagged that planning is underway for a future event in Clovelly, though no dates have been confirmed. The broader vision is to create more local activations that are free, inclusive and built around the character of each suburb.
Keeping It Local, Keeping It Lively
Spot On transforms familiar streets into places for neighbours to gather. In 2024, Thursday nights came alive with lights, music and street seating, as local cafés extended hours to join the festivities.
Spot On 2025 aims to keep locals out after work or dinner, supporting community life and local traders. With planning underway, a lively return is on the cards.
