Activate Olympic Street is one event funded under the NSW Government’s Open Streets Program. The program is designed to temporarily close streets to vehicles, creating dynamic public spaces through engaging placemaking activities. This initiative aims to inject vibrancy into our streets, fostering thriving local places that support businesses, the creative sector, and the wider community through exciting events and activities.
