Northern Beaches Council’s Rise Manly 2026 winter festival is in full swing, but don’t worry, you still have a few more days to head over, as the festival is on until Sunday 28 June.
The Corso, laneways and beachfront are buzzing with live music, winter-themed menus, light projections and more.
And good news – the Ferris wheel is staying at the beachfront until 19 July, so it will be there for the July school holidays.
Local businesses in Manly teamed up to put on events for the festival which is putting the WOW into winter with something to delight all the family.
You can see Manly Town Hall in a whole new light with a colourful display of Light Projections, vibrant moving images that tell the story of Manly.
See what you can spot drifting across the surface of the Town Hall; we spotted a Manly Ferry and a musician playing double bass.
The Corso’s interactive light experience is like a colourful canvas and the children love chasing the moving images on the ground. And you can’t miss the very instagrammable giant inflatable cockatoo sitting like a beacon by St Mathews Church.
There are special winter warmer menus on offer, oyster shucking, markets, dancing on The Corso and much more. Check out the website and plan your weekend.
