If you’re into art, Sunday will be your lucky day.

The annual Sixth Street Art Fest –will fill the area around Murray Bridge Regional Gallery with colour and creativity.

Book in for workshops focused on hand-built pottery, aerosol art or painting native birds using watercolour; or drop in and try Ngarrindjeri weaving, zine-making, needle felting, stamped charms, fun with watercolour, silk scarf painting or wire sculptures.

Food trucks will fill your belly and live music your ears, and the kids can get their faces painted for free, too.

The festival will run from 11am to 3pm.
