Organiser: City of Melbourne
Get ready for five days of non-stop fun and excitement at the Moomba Festival in Melbourne, Australia! Held annually during the Labour Day long weekend in March, Moomba is a cultural extravaganza that brings together people from all over the world to celebrate Melbourne's rich cultural diversity and community spirit.
One of the festival's biggest drawcards is the spectacular Moomba Parade, a dazzling display of colorful floats, marching bands, dancers, and street performers. Join the crowds lining the streets to witness the incredible sights and sounds of this incredible celebration of all things Melbourne.
For those who like to live on the wild side, the Birdman Rally is the perfect event. Participants dress up in outrageous costumes and attempt to fly off a platform into the river below. It's a hilarious and unforgettable experience that's sure to have you cheering and laughing along with the crowd.
And when the sun goes down, the Moomba Fireworks light up the sky over the Yarra River, creating a breathtaking spectacle that you won't want to miss. With food trucks, live music performances, carnival rides and games, and a host of family-friendly activities, Moomba is the ultimate celebration of everything that makes Melbourne great.
And the best part? The Moomba Festival is completely free! That's right, you can experience all of the incredible events and activities without spending a dime. The festival is open to everyone, making it the perfect way to spend a day with family and friends or to meet new people and celebrate the spirit of Melbourne together.
