What’s got 10 stages, more than 80 hugely talented acts and is Australia’s largest community festival?
Everyone is invited to join two days of fantastic free fun at the foreshore when the 44th St Kilda Festival (SKF) returns.
Proudly presented by City of Port Phillip Council, this popular annual summer celebration features music and activities for all ages. An incredible line-up of First Nations artists, including Troy and Jem Casser-Daley, will present a jam-packed day and night of music at First Peoples First at O’Donnell Gardens on the Saturday. First Peoples First concludes with a sunset ceremony.
Then it’s Big Festival Sunday when thousands will flock to the foreshore and beyond for the best in live music, market and food stalls and community group activities. The Main Stage overlooking the foreshore will feature Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos, three-time ARIA Award winner Sarah Blasko, rising electronic musication sensation Young Franco and ARIA #1 Album award winner, Cub Sport.
Our younger attendees will be entertained at The Optus Stage with family programming featuring for the first half of the day, with the likes of Whistle & Trick and “The Wiggles” own DJ Dorothy the Dinosaur. There will also be a Youth Safe Space with gaming activations from Hovergarden.
Other festival fun includes the Hare Krishna Vedic Village, popular Ratha Yatra Chariot Parade and two stages on Acland Street showcasing Melbourne’s finest street performers. Fitzroy Street will host the New Music Stage, a POOF DOOF activation and a new stage at the Fitzroy and Acland Street intersection supported by The Prince of Wales.
SKF is supported by Revive Live – an Australian Government initiative.
