St Kilda Festival Returns For 37th Event

Mark your calendars

A mainstay of the Melburnian cultural calendar, St Kilda Festival returns to the shore once again next February to celebrate its 37th year.

Drawing nearly half a million visitors this year, the free festival will again strive to offer the best tunes, food and family-friendly entertainment around, all set against the palm tree-lined backdrop of St Kilda. 

The Live N Local stage will be back again and offering up-and-comers a chance to play to — and create fans out of — thousands of people, while the New Music stage will highlight ten emerging acts with a chance to win $5,000.

St Kilda Festival returns on Sunday, 12 February 2017. Keep your eye out for their full program.
