"It's like Bondi's little sister... same vibe but a lot more chilled out and happier."

Answered by: Dean Ayton — manager

What made you want to get involved with Newtown Festival Week? I think the Newtown Festival is great. Been to the last three and when asked to get involved with the week of celebration how could you say no?

What is it about Newtown that makes it a great place to hold events or have a business there? All the people at the festival have a great vibe about them... I think the whole area does. And after seeing how many people came to the last event, it really speaks for itself.

How would you describe Newtown to someone who hasn't been there before? It's like Bondi's little sister... same vibe but a lot more chilled out and happier. So much in walking distance of each other and just endless of entertainment on the streets.

What ways do you think Newtown could be improved? Hard to say... can't really fault it yet. And I'm still new to the area.

What are you doing to celebrate Newtown Festival week? FRIDAWAY is our fortnightly run event here at The Hideaway Bar... DJs playing some nice cruisy house tunes with a nice, healthy happy hour and we will be donating 10% to the festival.
