August 2026 · Lower North Shore
Your August in the
Lower North Shore
Markets, music, sport and a few things
you might not have heard about yet.
|
|
|
| |
| August tends to sneak up on you. The winter light starts to soften, the weekends start filling up — and before you know it, spring is here and you’ve missed everything you meant to do. |
| So we thought we’d make it easy. This month we’ve pulled together our favourite events across the Lower North Shore and right here in Northbridge — from something genuinely extraordinary at the Coal Loader, to a relaxed Saturday morning at the market, to a singing session two minutes from home. |
| There’s no pressure and no agenda. Just a good look at what’s on — and a nudge to make the most of it. |
| |
