School holidays mean plenty to fill this Inner West weekend: King Street Crawl returns bigger than ever with 45+ Newtown venues, J-Song Karaoke Night brings anime and cosplay to the Dunkirk Hotel, and Colombo Social's Sri Lankan high tea is worth booking ahead. Add pro wrestling at the Polish Club, mug painting and Little Chefs for the kids, plus live music across the area all weekend. Check with venues before heading out, as plans can change these school holidays.

This week I'm all in on FBR Allstars AU, a coffee cupping in Marrickville that calls itself the greatest on the planet. Also on my list: a free dim sum party in Chippendale, drawing your pet at Addison Road, watching the World Cup, and space-themed play for little ones at Carriageworks.

Your guide to the best of the Inner West this weekend. A Succulent Chinese Musical closes at Flight Path Theatre, new margarita bar Super 44 opens on Enmore Road, and Last Laps marks the final outdoor swim at Leichhardt before major works begin. Plus an improvised murder mystery, the Hinsby Park playground opening in Annandale, the Incognito Art Show at Carriageworks, a kids' movie night, live music across Marrickville, and the weekend's transport changes.

It's the winter solstice this weekend. Taste the Music turns Leichhardt's bars into a live music circuit across Friday and Saturday night. Pocket City Farm marks its 10th Winter Solstice Festival with fire, food, and a lantern walk at nightfall. Rolling Stones Revival plays Camelot on Friday, the Inner West Brick Fair fills Croydon Public School with LEGO on Sunday, and Girl Date combines badminton with brunch in Alexandria. Plus the Socceroos at 5am Saturday.
