Glow Winter Arts Festival 2015
Make the most of winter with movies, ice skating and hot mulled wine.
Overview
Melbourne's winter weather isn’t typically the most conducive to outdoor activities after dark. But we're willing to make an exception and brave the elements starting August 13, when the Glow Winter Arts Festival comes to town.
Now in its second year, the festival taps into the creative communities around Prahran, Malvern, Armadale, Windsor, Toorak and South Yarra for 11 days worth of film, comedy, music, theatre and art. This year's festival hub is located in Prahran, where you'll be able to sip mulled wine and chow down on delicious street food while enjoying light projections, live music and performances.
Alternatively, chuck your skates on and head down to their open air ice rink, before catching a movie at Flicks + Feats (eat Japanese food while watching Spirited Away, Italian with The Italian Job, Indian with Bride and Prejudice or American with Blue Hawaii). Other highlights include a lineup of Australian comedians at Chapel on Chapel and a kaleidoscopic light exhibition on Greville Street.
