Sugar Fest Oceanic Culture History & Music 2026 @ Chau Chak Wing Museum - USYD

About

SUGAR FEST; OCEANIC CULTURE, HISTORY & MUSIC

A Sunday of culture, conversation, music, food & community

Come spend your Sunday with us at the internationally acclaimed Chau Chak Wing Museum, University of Sydney, for a vibrant day celebrating the cultures, histories, creativity and connections that bring our communities together.

Stay for an hour or make a day of it!

Find a spot on the grounds and chill to the music, wander through the remarkable Chau Chak Wing Museum collections, grab something delicious from the festival food stalls, sit down for a weaving workshop, join the dancing or simply soak up the atmosphere with family and friends.

And when you're ready for a break, there's always the museum café on the scenic balcony, a beautiful spot for a classic Sunday lunch, good coffee and eats while overlooking the university grounds.

History • Lived Experience • Climate • Our Shared Pacific Story

SugarFest creates space not only to celebrate culture, but to have important conversations about the histories connecting Australia and the Pacific.

Join acclaimed author Ryan Butta, whose bestseller Blackbirding has ignited conversations across Australia and the mainstream media.

Conversations will be facilitated alongside Aunty Raechel Togo, a proud third-generation Australian South Sea Islander and Yugambeh Elder from Mackay, bringing lived experience, cultural knowledge and the intergenerational story of her people.
