Overview

More than 50 Australian music acts will perform by the shore this February 12 when St Kilda Festival returns for another year. A regular feature on the suburb's cultural calendar for three decades and counting, this summer celebration of music, culture and food is all going down on a (hopefully) sunny Sunday on the St Kilda foreshore.

The free fun begins just after 11am and runs well into the night. The Smith Street Band, Emma Louise, Drapht, Indigenous musician Archie Roach, Ainslie Wills and Daryl Braithwaite are just a few of the acts you can expect to see across a total of seven separate stages, stretching from Catani Gardens to the south end of Acland Street.

In addition to the music, the festival will host a tonne of extra events and activities, ranging from bubble soccer and beach netball to aerial silks classes Bollywood dance workshops and a Latin street carnival. There's a lot going on — for more information, visit their website.
