The Highly Anticipated Chapel Street Festival Has Been Delayed Until Further Notice
The Chapel Street Precinct Association is still determined to bring this festival back to Melbourne — fingers crossed we won't have to wait too much longer.
We were stoked to hear of Chapel Street Festival's return — planned for February this year — 25 years after it was last held. We were expecting live bands and DJs, countless food and drink stalls, a chap laps car show, and plenty more entertainment, but it has just been announced that the festival is currently delayed until further notice.
It is not officially cancelled, but we are yet to receive another date for when it will return. With Chapel Street and the surrounding area really surging back to life over the past few years, this festival really would have been huge.
Nonetheless, the Chapel Street Precinct Association (CSPA) is still committed to bringing back the community event.

The CSPA board shared, "While the event will no longer proceed on February 23, 2025, we remain dedicated to bringing this exciting celebration to life at a later date.
"We are committed to continuing our work with stakeholders, businesses, and the community to identify a new date and ensure we deliver an event that showcases the best of the Chapel Street Precinct. This decision reflects our determination to create a festival that not only meets but exceeds expectations for our vibrant community.
"We would like to thank everyone who has supported the festival planning journey thus far—your enthusiasm and encouragement have been truly appreciated.

"As we move forward, the CSPA remains focused on advocating for and supporting the businesses and is excited to continue marketing the iconic destination that is Chapel Street.
"We look forward to sharing updates with you as we refine our plans for the festival and will continue to celebrate everything that makes Chapel Street a unique and thriving hub for our community."
