About Laneways of Lismore Arts Festival (LOLA)

Lismore’s iconic laneways were transformed into a celebration of music, art, food and creativity on Saturday, 23 August, for the inaugural LOLA: Laneways of Lismore Arts Festival. LOLA is a free, all-ages arts and music event showcasing both local and national talent.

LOLA transformed Carrington Street and its laneways into a vibrant festival precinct. It featured a dynamic mix of live music, visual art, lighting installations, vintage, art and vinyl markets, as well as a dedicated children’s zone, food trucks and licensed bars.

Festival-goers enjoyed an exciting music line-up, including acclaimed musician Mitch Tambo, high-energy sets from FLO DJs, and Melbourne indie favourites Cool Sounds and Eggy, presented by Jet Black Cat Music, alongside a vibrant showcase of local talent.

Visual highlights included bold, immersive works from celebrated Australian artists Paul McNeil (Mambo, Deus ex Machina) and Marty Baptist, who brought Lismore’s iconic laneways to life with colour and creativity.

LOLA is proudly funded by Lismore City Council and the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund.

Designed to attract locals and visitors from across the Northern Rivers and beyond, LOLA is a celebration of Lismore’s thriving creative culture, offering something for everyone, from art and music lovers to families, foodies and market-goers.
