18 venues on Lower Johnston Street will be celebrating LOJO Festival.

You’ll also be able to find out about beer-making at Bodriggy’s open brewhouse, get some vino at Blackhearts & Sparrow’s pop-up at Bodriggy, ogle the work of local artists such as Kitt Bennett, Sophie Sun, Mic Porter, Tinky, and Nathan Markham at Marfa Gallery’s group show, or settle in for some live music at the Retreat Hotel.
There’s also a mobile wallet available for LOJO Festival revellers which will update you on events, promos, deals, and news from venues in the Lower Johnston Street area.
