Overview
Go green with Australia’s largest sustainability festival when it hits the streets of Melbourne. Since 2000, the Sustainable Living Festival has promoted conscientious social and ecological practices through art, exhibition, workshops, film, public forums and live performance. With three weeks’ worth of events happening all around Victoria, it’d be downright irresponsible not to attend.
The opportunities at this year’s festival are practically limitless. Take in a talk on climate change, pop in on the Town Hall Veggie Patch, or catch a pedal-powered movie on the banks of the Yarra River. Art lovers can check out new sustainability-themed works by Jess Leitmanis and Emily Floyd, while the NGV also has an interactive exhibition specially designed for kids.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to get a little more hands on, the festival has you covered there as well. Learn to sew, recycle your jewellery or make homemade dye from food scraps at various interactive workshops hosted in locations across town. You can even get a free meal — made using 100% salvaged produce, of course.
