Resort

Overview

James Street already boasts the best in shopping, restaurants and art-house cinema — and now it adds a festival to its ever-expanding footprint. An event befitting the street’s status as New Farm’s style hub, Resort is the first artistic and cultural celebration in a planned series, taking over the precinct for three days of well-heeled fun.

No matter whether you’re a morning or evening person, there’s something to suit your timetable. The Resort Breakfast offers an eating, art and shopping experience at Blonde Venus, the Resort Mexican Food Fiesta brings a day of mojitos and munchies to Gerard's Laneway, and Resort After Dark combines cocktails and putt putt by starlight.

But wait, there’s more, including the Resort Trailblazers discussion on fashion and the digital age hosted by ELLE Australia deputy editor Damien Woolnough, as well a sneak peek of GOMA’s forthcoming Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion exhibition. And who could pass up the nocturnal experiment that is #SunglassesAtNight? Singing Corey Hart’s hit song is not compulsory.
