Gosford Strip Block Party

Gosford is waking up — and we want you there.

For one unforgettable day and night, Mann Street between Donnison Street (The Archibald)

and Erina Street (Hotel Gosford) will transform into a buzzing, pedestrian-first playground.

Picture al fresco dining spilling onto the street, local bands and DJs setting the soundtrack,

businesses throwing open their doors with surprises, kids’ activities, and plenty of space to

explore, connect and celebrate.

Sit. Eat. Linger. Soak up the vibes.
