Moomba 2022
Melbourne's beloved community festival returns to the banks of the Yarra for four huge days of entertainment, water sports and other colourful fun.
Overview
Victoria's Labour Day long weekend kicks off soon; and long-running festival Moomba is here to fill it to the brim with a jam-packed offering of entertainment, music, dancing, carnival rides, water sports and flying machines.
Moomba's 2022 edition runs from Friday, March 11–Monday, March 14, gracing Alexandra Gardens, St Kilda Road and Birrarung Marr.
Music-lovers can look forward to live tunes from acts like MzRizk, Squid Nebula, The Mamas and Horns of Leroy, or hit one of the silent disco sessions. Elsewhere, you can get your own groove on at a dance workshop, with the experts helping you perfect those hip hop, Bollywood or TikTok moves.
Meanwhile, a program of water sport showcases will descend on the Yarra River, as the world's top water ski and wakeboard athletes put on some unmissable performances.
On Sunday, March 13, the ever hilarious Birdman Rally sees competitors take giant leaps of faith from the banks of the Yarra in their homemade flying contraptions, raising money for charity while providing spectators plenty of laughs.
And, helping to wrap up the festivities on Monday, March 14, is the long-running Moomba Parade, which will roll through Kings Domain with a colourful riot of dancers, tunes and supersized floats.
