If you are in town enjoying the beauty of our surrounds then it won’t be hard to join in with the fabulously fun and relaxed Soul Street. A free, family-friendly community event, Soul Street is our way of celebrating New Year’s Eve  in central Byron Bay.

There will be two main areas of entertainment in town:

• Jonson Street – live music on the sound stage, street dining, roving street performers, community acts and children’s activities from 4pm to 9pm.
• Dening Park – lighting installations and entertainment on the main stage 6pm to 12.30am with a selection of much loved Australian performers.

Check out all the artists and performers here.

Soul Street is a zero-waste event so remember to bring your own cups, plates, cutlery etc. Also, Byron Bay town centre is an alcohol-free zone meaning no alcohol allowed on the streets. Please respect this safe space and note there will be on-the-spot fines for anyone not doing so.

Driving & parking

Jonson Street will be closed to traffic, as well as some surrounding streets and carparks.

These roads will be closed from 6am on 31 December and includes:

• Main Beach Carpark
• Jonson Street between Byron Street and Lawson Street
• Lawson Street Carpark

Detours will be in place and the town bypass will be open. All roads will reopen by 8am 1 January 2025.

For your convenience there will be a taxi rank in  Jonson Street near the Marvell Street intersection. Paid parking for cars will still be in place between 9am – 6pm.

We hope you will enjoy our spectacular shire and have some fun alongside our local community and other visitors at Soul Street 2024. Take care and we very much look forward to seeing you back here with us in 2025.

With huge festive cheer, The Byron Visitor Centre, volunteers and board members.
