Johnston Street Festival 2015
Drink, dance and feast like they do in Latin America.
Overview
You don't need a plane ticket to get a taste of Latin America. In fact, you only need to go as far as Fitzroy. This weekend, thousands of people will flock to Johnston Street for the annual Hispanic Latin American Festival, otherwise known as the Johnston Street Festival. We're talking two straight days of art, music, dancing and more food than you could possibly devour. And then there's the sangria. Good Lord is there sangria.
The fiesta begins at midday on Saturday. The street will be packed to bursting with food stalls, so get ready to stuff yourself full of paella, Mexican BBQ and sweet, sweet Spanish doughnuts. Free dance lessons should help you salsa off some of the grub, while on the main stage you'll find live Latin bands and DJs. The fun continues well past sundown, with live music at nearby venues including The Old Bar, Laundry Bar and The LuWOW.
