‘Music in the Park’ on Sunday, 25 January is coming back for another year, with a mix of young local talent, classic rock, folk, blues and high-energy punk set to take centre stage at Hindmarsh Park. 

Running from 2 till 6pm, the free outdoor concert will feature five acts from across the region with a mix of sounds to suit music lovers of all ages.

Among the performers is Florence Johnson, a 15-year-old singer-songwriter on piano and vocals.

Florence, a student of long-time Kiama singing teacher Marianne Patton, is known for her love of soul, jazz and pop, and is looking forward to the opportunity to perform at the event.

Also appearing is Char Wall, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter who recently graduated from TIGS. 

Char has been selected to perform at ENCORE at the Sydney Opera House (a prestigious showcase of outstanding HSC music performances from 2025) and is also a student of Marianne Patton.

Bringing vintage sounds to the afternoon will be The Freewheelers, a duo featuring vocals, guitar, harmonica and cajon (google it if you must). Their set blends folk, blues and country.

Fans of louder fare will enjoy Ramoans, a high-energy tribute to legendary punk band ‘The Ramones’, recreating the raw live sound of the original group with classics such as “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “I Wanna Be Sedated.”

Rounding out the line-up is Seldom, a local four-piece band performing popular covers rooted in classic and alternative rock.

‘Music in the Park’ is supported by a cultural grant from Kiama Council, which has helped make the event possible. 

‘Music in the Park’ remains a popular fixture on Kiama’s summer calendar, bringing families and friends to gather with picnic blankets for an afternoon of live entertainment. 

The event’s family-friendly atmosphere and free entry continue to make it a highlight in summer, particularly at a time when festival cancellations are filling our Headlines.
