Spot On Festival Returns: Street Eats, Live Jazz and Summer Vibes in Randwick

Play / 17 September 2025

St Pauls Street will come alive every second Thursday night with food, music and performances as a celebration of Randwick’s buzzing cultural heart.

Randwick is fast becoming one of Sydney’s most vibrant precincts. With its historic Ritz Cinema, bustling bars and restaurants, and the light rail linking the suburb directly to the city, there’s never been a better time to explore this pocket of the east. And now, the Spot On Festival is back to take over St Pauls Street every second Thursday night, filling it with food, free live music and roaming entertainment.

Running until November 27th, the festival is all about turning the street into a hub of alfresco dining and culture. Think jazz bands on the pavement, roaming performers, art installations and even a live chess challenge against a champion from UNSW. It’s a chance to settle in for dinner under the stars, discover local talent, and soak up the neighbourhood’s laid-back, lively atmosphere.

Quick Bites

  • What to Eat: Dine al fresco at Randwick’s favourite eateries lining St Pauls Street, from woodfired pizza to modern Asian bites and cocktails on the curb.
  • What to Drink: Sip local wines or craft beers while catching jazz on the street corner.
  • When to Go: Every second Thursday from 5.30pm to 9pm, the next one lands September 18th.
