As the temperature dips, Bondi’s dining scene is doing the opposite. Across 28-29 March, Hall Street’s The Hub hosts HubFest - a two-day food festival in Bondi celebrating food, music and art, transforming the precinct into an Autumn playground.
With more than 30 food and drink specials priced between $10 - $20, the event is designed for grazing, exploring and discovering some of Sydney’s most popular Bondi venues in one hit. From vodka rigatoni and porchetta rolls at Da Orazio to Mumbai Margaritas at Masala Theory and chocolate-and-pretzel-crunch gelato from Gelato Messina, the lineup delivers bold flavours and crowd favourites.
Newer additions to the precinct, including Salumerie, Besa and Shila Kitchen, join Hall Street staples like Bills, Coco & Bean and Makuto, showcasing the diversity of Bondi dining. Expect everything from focaccia sandwiches and Negronis to Spanish bocadillos, Persian-inspired dishes and casual gourmet bites, alongside free tastings and fresh juices at Harris Farm Markets.
Beyond the food, HubFest brings a strong cultural lineup. The Tower Stage - a laneway installation between Salumerie and Harris Farm – hosts local DJs spinning disco, house and laid-back coastal sounds from day into the evening.
Bondi artist NotNot transforms the precinct with large-scale installations and street-art moments, turning Hall Street into an immersive open-air gallery.
Designed to be walkable, social and distinctly coastal, HubFest captures the energy of Bondi lifestyle - where great food, music and art come together effortlessly. It’s the perfect way to spend a weekend by the beach as the season shifts.
HubFest takes place at The Hub on Hall Street, Bondi, across Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 March 2026, offering one of the most vibrant food and cultural events in Sydney this Autumn.
Whether you’re chasing cheap eats in Bondi, live music or a laid-back day out, HubFest is set to be one of the must-visit Sydney events this March.
