Preston Block Party

Overview

With Preston Station finally reopened after a long year of removal works, Preston is back firing on all cylinders and ready to party. So it's celebrating the occasion with a huge free block party on Sunday, September 11. Swing by Preston Market from 11am for a big day of eats, drinks, tunes and general good vibes, served up by much-loved market traders and other Preston favourites.

Food pop-ups will be slinging treats ranging from fairy floss to gelato, alongside sweet and savoury goodies from all the usual market vendors. Preston-based brewery Moon Dog will be serving ice-cold craft beer tinnies from its MD Land Drover, while The Drinks Swap pop-up will have an array of booze-free things to quench your thirst.

As with all good parties, there'll be entertainment — and plenty of it. Catch neo-soul and RnB sounds from songwriting duo Alex & Sophia, see a belly-dancing performance by Azura Oasis and cut some shapes of your own with a communal boogie lead by Brunswick's very lively Famous Love Heart Dancers.

While you're there, be sure to check out the special live reptile show, and shop up a storm with a trip around the market, where you can stock up on everything from fashion and art to homewares and vinyl.
