Festival in the heart of Yarraville

Site map

The Yarraville Festival will return for its 42nd annual event on Sunday, March 5 2023 in the heart of the west, Yarraville.

The festival encourages a mixture of creative artists, designers, artisan stalls, activities and gourmet experiences that inspires a broader sense of community, whilst providing an economic stimulus for the local traders.

Yarraville street closures will occur on Anderson Street and surrounds within the heart of Yarraville, giving the vibrant community the opportunity to shop locally and explore the beautiful characteristics of the neighbourhood.

The group of eager volunteers forming the Yarraville Festival Committee, are working on an exciting program incorporating a lineup of local artists, dancers, and musicians held throughout the day, over 3 stages. Roving performers will also take to the streets to perform and entertain throughout the festival footprint.

The Yarraville Festival receives over 140 applications each year for stallholders made up of local traders, food and beverage trucks, local handmade goods and so much more.

The festival will incorporate a ‘kids corner’ with free painting and activities throughout the day, along with amusement rides for all ages. The festival wouldn’t be the same without our coolest furry friends gathering to show off their talents and trendy outfits in the dog parade on the main stage.

The committee is appreciative of the continued support from sponsors including major sponsors; the Maribyrnong City Council and Transurban.

This institutional festival embraces the cultural diversity, industrious nature and artistic flair of the West, attracting over 25,000 people from all over Melbourne to join and experience the vibrant atmosphere. The festival has something for everyone!

Go along for a fun filled festival on Sunday, March 5 2023 from 10am to 6pm in Yarraville. For more information, please visit yarravillefestival.com.au
