A Taste of HQ: Street Eats Edition

A Taste of HQ: Street Eats Edition takes over Surry Hills's Foster and Hunt streets for a free-to-enter alfresco day-to-night festival of live music, roaming performers, pop-up bars and elevated street-food from eight of Sydney’s leading chefs.

Celebrating the vibrant Hollywood Quarter as a centre for creativity, hospitality and community, A Taste of HQ starts with a family-friendly afternoon of playful art activities and workshops, music, early dining options and more. 

As the night arrives, the street lights up into a party as bars open and performers take over with live music and DJs creating dancefloors across the streets and venues.

At its centre are the Quarter’s culinary delights, as eight of revered chefs from local restaurants lead street-food trucks to offer exciting takes on classic, cutlery-free dishes. Think lobster rolls, burgers, hot dogs and more favourites, all reinvented with bold, exciting flavours.

Chefs include Remy Davis (Bessie’s Restaurant), Julian Cincotta (Butter), Michael Shafran (Brooklyn Boy Bagels), Josh Raine (40Res), Nelly Robinson (NEL Restaurant), Lakhan Bhounsle (NOMAD), Matthew MacLeod (Chin Chin Sydney) and Lennox Hastie (Firedoor; Gildas).

After the street party, explore Hollywood Quarter’s venues through the HQ After Hours lineup, featuring late-night DJs, live performances and rooftop sessions across the precinct.
