Subject: Blue Mountains 'WHAT'S ON' - 19th August 2026

WHAT'S ON in the greater Blue Mountains region


The Blue Mountains are open and ready to welcome you.


From bustling village markets and tempting food events to live music, theatre, art exhibitions and cultural festivals, there is always something happening along the ridgeline and into the valleys.


Families can dive into community fairs and school holiday activities, food lovers can follow their taste buds to local producers and artisan makers, and outdoor enthusiasts will find walks, tours and nature‑based experiences to fill their days. Whether you are chasing entertainment, creativity, adventure or simply a great day out, the Blue Mountains offers a warm, vibrant events scene in every season.


Remember, community and not‑for‑profit events are promoted free of charge.


Discover the very best of the Blue Mountains with Ask Roz Blue Mountains, your trusted partner in sustainable tourism.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Exclusive dining experience celebrating the finest Australian Wagyu from Gooree Park Mudgee, expertly paired with regional wines.


For one night, we’re taking their Wagyu and working through the whole animal—from humble cuts like tendon, lengua and oxtail, through to tenderloin, short rib and striploin.

Along the way, you’ll find flavours that tell you exactly who we are: Filipino, Mexican and Australian.


• Not a traditional steak dinner.

• Not quite a degustation either.

• Just Arriba doing Wagyu our way.


Enjoy a thoughtfully curated five-course menu, live entertainment, and an unforgettable evening of food, wine, and hospitality in the heart of the Blue Mountains.
