Let the good times roll at the 15th annual Fifties Fair!

Enjoy live rockabilly, jump blues, lounge jazz and swing music, dancing demonstrations, vehicle displays and kids activities set against the backdrop of the iconic Rose Seidler House. Come dressed in your best 50s threads for a chance to win a prize in the famous Fifties Fair fashion awards.

Specialist collectors and dealers will sell fabulous 50s pieces including household gadgets, toys, jewellery, knick-knacks, books, clothing and furniture.

Rose Seidler House – Harry Seidler’s first Australian commission (1948-50) – features an open plan minimalist design with all the mod cons of the day. Its post-war design collection is one of the country’s most important. Tours of the house will be offered throughout the day.

A free shuttle bus will operate between Turramurra train station and Rose Seidler House for the duration of the event.
