A southern suburbs street festival is returning after the inaugural event last year attracted about 2000 people.
Organisers of the Manning Laneway Festival on February 10 are hoping for a bigger crowd this year, drawing residents from Manning, Karawara, Como, Salter Point, Waterford and surrounds.
There will be food and beverage options with local restaurants offering festival menus, a licensed bar in front of the main entertainment stage, plus ice-cream trucks and a sausage sizzle.
