A free, all-day event of sarapan (‘breakfast’) and performances presented by Nongkrong Festival that transforms the Square into a space to nongkrong – or to ‘hang out’ in Bahasa Indonesia.

The event celebrates Nongkrong’s 2025 theme, ‘Roots and Routes’, exploring the deep connections between ancestral heritage and the evolving pathways shaping Indonesian-Australian identities. Come for breakfast and stay to nongkrong, as the Square is filled with open-air performances.
