Melbourne Festival 2013
From October 11-27 our city is becoming host to a huge crop of international artistic talent. From neon discotheques to harmonicas carved from handguns, there's a little something for everyone.
Overview
Melbourne loves itself some culture. We are a City of Literature. We have all the artistic acronyms in the land: NGV, ACCA, MWF, EWF, HMT, CCP. We have that one guy in Degraves Street subway who's always doing covers of 'Wonderwall'. What a champ.
But if there's one thing we all hold close to our art-lovin' hearts it's the Melbourne Festival. From October 11 – 27, our fine city becomes host to a whole new crop of international artistic talent, and while the full program is impressive, it's also a little unwieldy. Neon discotheques, harmonicas carved from handguns, Blues Brothers, and Duchamp. This year's festival really does cater to all tastes.
