Events

Emerge is a time to come out in the spring warmth and discover the hidden gems that are in Willoughby and dive in to something new and exciting. With over 50 events run by the community and Willoughby City Council, there's something for everyone. Party with the crowds at large events like the annual Chatswood StreetFair and the Matsuri Japan Festival, get entranced by musicals and tribute shows at our many theatre shows or attend smaller intimate activities like bushwalks discoveries and workshops to up skill yourself. As well as be the first to try out new events including Grazing on the Green at the Northbridge Golf Club and celebrate the cultural Mid-Autumn festivities in October in Chatswood Mall over two weekends.

There's a whole lot to see, play and experience at Emerge 2025.
