Gertrude Street Projection Festival 2017
Fitzroy's main drag will once again light up for ten days this winter.
Overview
The Gertrude Street Projection Festival will light up the night for the tenth year in a row, when it returns to Fitzroy this winter. Running for ten nights from July 21–30, the free community-driven event will once again showcase spectacular light compositions from local and international artists up and down the northside drag.
Returning artists Yandell Walton, Ray Thomas, Susan Forrester and Jody Haines are among the Australian artists to be announced so far, with the full program to be made public later this month.
In addition to the projections — which last year illuminated everything from shopfronts to footpaths to the trees in the Atherton Gardens — this year's festival will also feature a program of special events, including parties, pop-ups, and live music and DJ sets, plus a few culinary offerings to tempt you out into the cold from 6pm till midnight each night.
