Coogee Nights during March and April 2026
Publicity Content 03 march,2026
Join us for this brand new series of events in the heart of Coogee! Over four nights in March and April 2026 we’re closing a section of Coogee Bay Road, from Arden to Brook streets, for outdoor dining, play and games, and free live music and performances!
Come down on Wednesdays 4 and 18 March, and 1 and 15 April, to Coogee Bay Road to dine and shop, and for a spectacular program of free beachside entertainment, from 5.30 to 9 pm.
Each Coogee Nights event will feature three zones: a live music stage at the beach end, a fun ‘play’ zone in the central area with activities and games, and a chill zone at the western end with a silent disco and silent cinema.
Coogee Nights was developed in consultation with the local businesses and community, and is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Randwick City Council.
