Moonee Valley Festival 14 Mar 2027
This flagship, free, family‑oriented community event will take over the full footprint of Queens Park, Moonee Ponds, attracting approximately 10,000–15,000 attendees across one daylight‑only day. The event features three stages, live and headline music acts, 20 food vendors, 100 market and information stalls, roaming entertainment, free activities, and a formal Citizenship Ceremony with the Mayor, Councillors, and VIP guests. 

Whether you’re a band, solo musician, performing artist, community choir, dance school, have a stage act, a roving or interactive performance, something more lowkey off-stage or you’re wanting to give a group demonstration, we’d love to hear from you.
