St Kilda Village StripFest 2013
Melbourne's newest and most misleading arts festival.
Overview
Celebrating the community strength and artistic spirit of local shopping strips — that's right, you pervert — StripFest could be anti-climactic for some. But for anyone into art, music, poetry and performance, it's sure to be pretty satisfying.
Giving you a solid reason to head south of the river, this new festival is something quite unique. Through an artist-driven collaboration, StripFest is delivering seven days of excitement to the sidewalks of Acland Street and surrounds. Some highlights include pop up poetry, site-specific QR code stories, live painting, and errant cupcakes. Which bring us to another important point — the theme of the festival is 'cake'.
As if the frosting-filled windows of Acland Street weren't tantalising enough, St Kilda now has French patisseries campaigning for the Sacred Heart Mission next to "sexy, rude" poets being likened to a layer cake.
If anyone was still disappointed by the thought of all that, don't worry, there will actually be some burlesque too.
StripFest starts on August 23 and runs till August 30. Check out the full program here.
