Mural Month is here! 🎨

We've partnered with 14 incredible artists this past year to bring bold new works to public spaces across our City. Each mural brings something special to our streets – celebrating community and transforming spaces with colour, culture and creativity.

Explore this year's murals and discover the stories behind them on our website: https://brnw.ch/21x3nix

Or better yet, get out and see them for yourself!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us under the sunshine for Coastal Sounds!

To the incredible artists, dedicated volunteers, welcoming venues, and everyone who came along (including our four-legged friends) thank you for helping make the day so special.

Coastal Sounds wouldn’t have been the vibrant celebration it was without the support of our amazing community. Your enthusiasm for local music, art, and connection is what brings this event to life.

Thanks for being part of it! Until next time 🌊

Got an event idea that needs a lift?

Or planning something big - but need more support?

Elevate it with our City’s Event Sponsorships.

Event Sponsorship provides financial support to eligible businesses and organisations to assist in the staging of events, festivals and activities that align with our City’s Community Vision.

Case in point: The 2026 Australian Weightlifting Federation Masters Nationals lands in Adelaide, 10 –14 June, hosted at the West Lakes Resort Hotel, supported by our Event grants and funding program.

This national championship brings together lifters aged 30+ from across Australia to compete for titles, records, and personal bests - delivering a high-energy celebration of strength, skill and community. We’re thrilled for it to be hosted in our City for the first time this year.

Ready to lift your event? Event Sponsorship is open through June 2026, with up to $10K +GST available.

Check out our Event Grant and Sponsorship opportunities, and start planning for success now.

🎨 A vibrant new mural has come to life at Chief Street Reserve, thanks to visual artist Tristan Kerr and the amazing students of Brompton Primary School.

Students contributed ideas and got hands-on, helping bring elements of the design to life through painting along the footpath. It is so fantastic to see how this project has brough creativity and community together.

✨ Next time you’re in the area, take a stroll and check it out!

Tristan was commissioned to create the new artwork in our City through an open expression‑of‑interest process in partnership with Guildhouse.

Two giant dogs appeared out of the blue in West Beach yesterday and reports are they're on the move! They've found a nice home in Henley Square on Thursday and Friday before continuing their travels across the coast!

Meet Arlo and Sunny, two very friendly pups created by the team at Climbing Tree. We've been told by their owners, Simon and Bron, that the pair recently heard about a family and dog-friendly music and arts adventure called Coastal Sounds 2026 and simply couldn't resist joining in.

After much tail-wagging and excitement, they convinced their humans to take them on a coastal walk to visit all the festival locations. They'll be off on their travels again soon, Grange Jetty Reserve on Saturday, and Semaphore Foreshore on Sunday. If you spot them along the way, be sure to stop by for a pat, a tummy tickle, and a photo!

Arlo and Sunny have checked the forecast and given it four paws up, it's looking like a cracker of a day for Coastal Sounds on Sunday!
