Summer of Music and Community in Nowa Nowa

A Summer of Music and Community in Nowa Nowa

This past summer, Nowa Nowa came alive with music, creativity, and community spirit. From intimate concerts at the Hall to relaxed gatherings at the Pop-up Pub, locals and visitors shared in a season of connection and celebration.

Highlights included performances by Scottish harpist Chloe Matharu with Andrea Kirwin and Claire Evelyn, the Solar Session with three French artists, and the soulful duo Tom Harrington & Jack Raymond. Families enjoyed the FITZ kids’ show, while the Pop-up Pub offered food, drinks, and live music in a warm community setting.

The season also marked the launch of Nowa Nowa Live, a new platform to showcase the town’s growing cultural scene and bring people together through music and events.

With summer behind us and spring underway, Nowa Nowa looks forward to more live music and creative gatherings in the months ahead — continuing its reputation as a hub for small, welcoming, high-quality events.
