Hop on board the Route 19 tram and make your way north to the Coburg Carnivale. Part of Melbourne Fringe, this annual street festival will once again take over Victoria Street Mall — as well as the nearby Coburg Library — for five days of performances, workshops, music, food and more.
Kicking off on Wednesday, September 21, this year's Carnivale will feature a number of free and ticketed events, including the interactive storytelling experience The Little Wooded Caravan, a pair of performances by comic songwriter Justin Heazlewood (aka The Bedroom Philospher), and the world premiere of General Fiasco's Circus Spectacular.
In-between shows, punters can pay a visit to the pop-up park, open every afternoon and long into the night, before grabbing a bite and kicking back under the stars.
