Running from 3pm to 9pm, Hornsby Spring Fest 2026 will feature live performances, roving entertainers, international food trucks, market stalls, and free activities for children, offering entertainment for all ages.

Music and performance will be at the heart of this year’s festival, with a program featuring established entertainers and local and emerging talent.

Among the headline acts is Greg Page, best known as the original Yellow Wiggle, who will perform From Denver to Diamond, a celebration of the music that has influenced his entertainment career. Backed by a six-piece live band, the performance will feature songs associated with John Denver and Neil Diamond, alongside a touch of Wiggles nostalgia.

The program will also feature the 343 Brass Band, whose energetic mix of jazz, pop, R&B and gospel will bring a New Orleans-inspired groove to the festival. They are known for appearances on ABC TV, at Secret Garden Festival and Manly Jazz Festival.

Sydney-based dancer and choreographer Lucky Lartey will showcase his work exploring African dance traditions and contemporary movement practices. Lartey’s work explores themes of social justice, identity and movement inspired by African architecture and the relationship between hip hop culture and African oral traditions.

Music runs in the family for Gang of Brothers, who will bring an energetic mix of funk and rock to the festival. Brothers Andro, Dauno, Fenix and Banel Martinez continue the musical legacy of the renowned Martinez family.

Kyle Howie will open the main-stage program at 3pm, followed by Greg Page at 3.15pm. Performances will continue throughout the afternoon and evening, with Gang of Brothers scheduled to close the program with sets beginning at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.
