Overview
Spring and outdoor festivals go hand-in-hand, and Melbourne has the packed calendar of events to prove it. Add another one to the list, with Collingwood's Peel Street getting in the action with their own fest — a new, free, day-long combination of music, arts, culture, food and markets.
Given that it's called the Peel Street Festival, there's no prizes for guessing where it'll be taking place from midday until 8pm on November 11. As for what's on offer, attendees can expect a community celebration will boast live sets from Aussie legend Archie Roach and blues group Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, an array of stalls serving up edible fare, and even a record fare.
In what's shaping up to be a jam-packed street party, further acts will be announced closer to event, which is being driven by Smith Street's The Grace Darling Hotel. In the interim, if you're eager for some spring fun in the sun — or beneath Peel Street's leafy trees — block out the second Saturday in November in your diary.
Peel Street Festival takes place on Peel Street, Collingwood from midday on November 11. For further details, head to the festival website or Facebook page.
