Get ready, Eastern Suburbs families — Coogee Nights is set to light up Coogee Village with a brand-new series of open street events designed to bring the community together.
Proudly presented by Randwick Council and developed in consultation with local businesses and residents, Coogee Nights will transform Coogee Bay Road into a vibrant, family-friendly hub of entertainment. The street will be closed to traffic between Arden Street and Brook Street, creating a safe and welcoming space filled with live music, games, interactive fun and relaxed evening vibes. The initiative is part-funded by the NSW State Government and aims to boost local businesses while creating memorable experiences for locals.

Each event will feature three exciting zones stretching across Coogee Village:
Live Music Zone (Beach End)
