LOLA: Laneways of Lismore Arts Festival is a brand-new, free event set to transform Lismore’s iconic laneways into a buzzing celebration of art and music on Saturday, 23 August 2025, from 1pm to 9pm.
Festival-goers can look forward to an exciting music line-up featuring acclaimed musician Mitch Tambo, high-energy sets from FLO DJs, and Melbourne indie favourites Cool Sounds and Eggy, presented by Jet Black Cat Music, alongside a vibrant showcase of local talent. Lismore local Mr Rhodes has recently been confirmed to perform, fresh off his incredible set opening for Black Star in Sydney! More local artists will be announced in the coming weeks, stay tuned!
Celebrated visual artists Paul McNeil (Mambo, Deus ex Machina) and Marty Baptist will bring bold, immersive works to life across the precinct, alongside interactive lighting experiences, vintage, vinyl and art markets, a curated children’s zone, food stalls and licensed bars.
LOLA invites locals and visitors from across the Northern Rivers and beyond to experience Lismore’s unique creative culture. Proudly funded by Lismore City Council and the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, LOLA is set to become a highlight on the region’s cultural calendar.
