Laneways Live was an event supported through the NSW Government in association with Wollongong City Council towards the activation of Wollongong CBD. Laneways Live aimed to accelerate the economic and social recovery of the Wollongong CBD post COVID-19. It focused on increasing connectivity between CBD precincts and supporting Council’s strong commitment to live music, arts, culture and creativity, outdoor dining and the evening economy.

Over four days and nights, Laneways Live allowed visitors to the CBD to experience a path of discovery incorporating sound, music, art, live performances, lighting and more. At the same time, it allowed businesses to showcase and celebrate their offerings within the Wollongong CBD.
