On the arts side of things, Surry Hills Festival will be bringing back the cheeky Surry Sock Puppets show, along with new public art projects The Surry Hills Wall Of Fame (a chance to dress up as the varied, infamous characters of Surry Hills) and the Popping Pom Poms (they're setting out to break the world-record for making the most pom poms, after which they're pom pom bomb the neighbourhood). 

Bursting with colour, camaraderie and community, Surry Hills Festival is entry by donation and will run from 9am to 10pm on 24 September.
