St Kilda Festival - First Peoples First

St Kilda Festival is known as Australia’s largest community festival – a celebration of community spirit, Australian talent, and the beautiful St Kilda foreshore. In 2026 the Festival returns over one huge weekend on 14-15 February. And as always, it's free and all ages!

Now in its 20th edition, First Peoples First will again kick off the St Kilda Festival (SKF) on February 14 with a dedicated lineup of First Peoples programming. Catch the best established and emerging First Peoples artists at the Main Stage on St Kilda's Foreshore, and more live tunes and family friendly activities over at the Optus Stage and O’Donnell Gardens.
