This month, one of the west's best-loved drinks destinations is transforming itself into an immersive party playground, dishing up a high-energy evening of tunes, food, booze and frivolity. On Saturday, January 22, you're invited to let your hair down and blow off some post-holiday steam at Mr West's inaugural block party, Good Fest.
Setting the tone is a diverse lineup of local musical acts, including Ausecuma Beats, Chilean Australian songstress Elaura, producer and DJ Amin Payne, and emerging DJ star Petra. They'll keep you grooving from 4pm through until 9pm.
To fuel your evening's adventures, there'll be flaky pastry treats from Footscray's own Pie Thief, as well as Tex Mex eats courtesy of A Dingo Ate My Taco 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, the Fancy Free crew will be running a pop-up outdoor cantina bar in collaboration with new local drinks brand Homegrown, slinging native-heavy bottled cocktails alongside a solid range of craft beer and natural wine.
