The Burwood Street Party, held on Saturday 6 April, commemorated the 150th anniversary of Burwood Municipality with a vibrant celebration of its rich history and lively present. Drawing 20,000 visitors, the event expanded the bustling Burwood Chinatown precinct with a dynamic 150-metre road closure of Burwood Road.

With a captivating program including performances, vintage cars, night markets, and an open-air dance party, the event culminated in a fireworks display from the Burwood Hotel Rooftop. A particular highlight was the 300-strong combined community and Adult Glee Club choirs performing a new AC/DC Medley, honouring iconic former residents Angus and Malcolm Young.
