Hunt down a bargain or just enjoy some time in the sun at this year's Yarraville Festival. Since 1981, this close knit community soiree has been a favourite of the area's residents, showcasing the talents of local producers, musicians and artists. With market stalls, parades and seven — count 'em, seven — stages packed with live entertainment, it's the best place west of the city to spend your lazy Sunday afternoon.
The fun takes place in the centre of Yarraville Village and, with stalls stretching along four separate streets, you'll want plenty of time to explore. Entertainment options are in plentiful supply with not just bands, but magicians, dancers and martial artists. There'll even be the chance for you to take the stage, courtesy of a Bring Your Own Vinyl session in which anyone can be a DJ.
