Local champions will be paired with the City of Swan’s Activation Officer to co-design a party in your street. Think street cricket, live bands, flamenco dancing, long table pot-luck, face painting… it’s up to you! While you decide the day, time and festivities, we will be sure to handle the traffic management plan and sourcing of local suppliers.
KERBfest parties will be hyper local in scale with no more than 200 persons in attendance. Local Champions (that’s you!) will be depended on to reach out to neighbours for agreement. This initiative is intended to help you meet your neighbours and for everyone to feel safe and connected on their street.
If you are interested, simply fill out the below form to begin the discussion with our Activation Officer. Each EOI will be assessed for safety and suitability for the proposed style of event. Please note as your KERBfest party progresses, terms and conditions will be presented and agreed upon.

Community groups and clubs can hire our pop-up movie trailer for free (with a refundable bond).
The trailer includes everything needed to set up and show a movie both indoors and outdoors, including a generator for power.
You will need to apply for an event approval before your event. Read the Event Guidelines before completing the Public Event Approval Application form.
Before planning a movie night consider:
- Your objectives. Is it to celebrate, activate a local space or offer community fun
- How many people would you like to attend
- Who you want to attend
- Your budget. How much will you need for venue, advertising, catering etc
- Where you want it to be
- The venue’s capacity, parking and accessibility
- The movie you want to show. You will need to obtain permission from the copyright owner before screening any movie in public and you will need to pay the licence fee
- Weather and the time of sunset
- Other entertainment.
Pop-up Play brings a temporary playground to a greenspace near you. This kind of unstructured play invites children to be imaginative, creative, experimental and, most of all, have fun.
