Each year, bands and musicians travel from Perth, the Northern Rivers, New Zealand, Great Britain and the United States to be part of Honk! Oz in Wollongong. Individuals and bands freely contribute their time and musical skills to perform a fusion of repertoire from a diverse set of music traditions – New Orleans second line, Klezmer, Balkan and Romani music; Brazilian Samba and Frevo; Jazz, funk and popular music.

Honk! Oz is also known for its wonderful and outlandish costumes, some will be displayed in Wollongong Library during the exhibition.
