Good Fest 2023 — A Westside Block Party
Mr West is throwing another rollicking block party packed with live tunes, great food and top-notch booze.
Overview
One of the west's best-loved drinks destinations is transforming itself into an immersive party playground once more, dishing up a high-energy arvo (and evening) of tunes, food, booze and frivolity. On Saturday, February 25, you're invited to let your hair down and blow off some end-of-summer steam at Mr West's annual block party, Good Fest.
Setting the tone and spilling out into the street is a dance-worthy lineup of local musical acts, including afro-funk outfit Cool Out Sun, Area3000 host DJ NayNay, funk aficionado DJ Manchild, Public Afro Opinion Orchestra side-project Afrobiotics and South African artist Kgomotso. Zambian-born journalist and author Santilla Chingaipe will take on the role of MC.
To fuel your evening's adventures, there'll be vibrant Cameroonian fare from emerging favourite Vola Foods, as well as brisket snack packs and sriracha butter chicken wings courtesy of the Tisiri food truck.
And of course, with Mr West's experts in the driver's seat, you can bank on some top-notch libations, too. Namely, they'll be running a pop-up outdoor cantina bar in collaboration with local drinks brand Home Grown, slinging native-heavy bottled cocktails alongside margarita slushies, low-intervention vino and a range of Hop Nation brews.
