Street Scapes has sent itself off with one last show on Kooyoo St

The last night brought crowds down to Kooyoo St to see off Street Scapes in exciting fashion, with performances from musicians like Stickie Fingers, Casual Sax and Mark Kocaj among other performers, and of course a last run of the projection art.

The festival ran for the month of May, tying in events like 3x3 basketball competitions, art classes and lectures, an open mic night along with musical performances in the centre of everything - Kooyoo St.

It also partnered with the visiting Archibald Prize exhibition at the Griffith Regional Art Gallery, and the Banna Lane Festival that reinvigorated Banna Lane with street art from national artists.

Host of the evening Cheryl Tucker had hope that the festival might yet return.

"Hopefully we'll have it again either later this year or at this time next year," she said, addressing the crowd gathered after Mark Kojac's set.

This might not be the end of Kooyoo Street's tenure as a hotspot however, with Griffith City Council looking at redeveloping the street into a permanent plaza.

Street Scapes might be wrapped up for the year, but the Banna Lane Festival's art installations will still be around and the festival has undoubtedly brightened some days throughout the month.
