A Night in Footscray

Overview

After making an impressive debut in 2017, One Night in Footscray is returning this Friday, November 23 with an even bigger and more expansive program.

From 5pm, the streets of the inner-west suburb will be brought to life with an array of interactive art installations, live music and exhibitions. And it's all free. Visitors are encouraged to take a self-guided journey through the suburb, engaging in various cultural experiences along the way.

Keen Fred Astaires can take to a pop-up LED dance floor, while others can get up close and personal with the giant puppet troupe Snuff Puppets. There's even a makeshift photo studio to get your family portrait taken, so don't leave pooch at home.

Hungry punters will no doubt make a beeline for the walking degustation tours. You'll be able to skip between eight local eateries to devour everything from crispy Vietnamese spring rolls from Thien An, fresh Turkish burek from Double Degree Kebabs, and pies from boozy bakery Bad Love Club. Leave work on time so you don't miss any of the action.
