The biggest street festival in Australia! Once a year, usually the last weekend in October, over half a million people converge on four blocks of Lygon St. for a crazy good time- Italian style. The street is blocked off, stages are set up for a constant stream of performers, restaurants and cafes set up twice as many tables than normal and it all spills out onto the sidewalk and street. You can listen to music, eat arancini, gelato and other Italian specialties, and watch a variety of performers and demonstrations. Most everyone who attends winds up dancing in the street at least once during this festival! It is for all ages.
