Café Carnivale is a year-round world music festival, presenting authentic and inspiring ‘live’ music of the diverse cultures of Sydney. 

This world music series has expanded since its debut in 2000 now presenting up to 8 concerts a month at intimate and informal venues around Sydney – weekly on Friday nights at Eastside Arts (Paddington)  and once a month at The Sound Lounge at the Seymour Centre (Chippendale)and Glen Street Theatre (Belrose).

Café Carnivale also presents concerts at the Barrenjoey Music Room (Avalon) and from time to time at Riverside Theatres (Parramatta), making it possible for all Sydneysiders to enjoy the rich musical and cultural diversity of the city.
