A three-weekend celebration of local culture, community and craft across the Inner West Ale Trail
Inner West Country transformed the Inner West Ale Trail in May 2025 with three weekends of music, food and community.
From chilli-chomping contests at Pickled Monkey to cowboy hat crafting at Chuck and Son’s, stompingly good flavours, tunes and activities took over 13 venues across the Trail in a free, open-door showcase of the best of the Inner West’s culture and community.
The lineup also included a collaboration between Young Henrys and First Nations creative collective Awesome Black, bringing together 10 First Nations artists, DJs and cultural performances for Mindjiigari Ngurru – From Sky to Country.
From lunch ‘til late, it was a feel-good feast for all the senses (and all the family!)
