Sydney Road Street Party returns to Brunswick on 1 March with six+ hours of live music across four stages and a stack of local venues.
The annual street festival kicks off Brunswick Music Festival’s 38th year, transforming one of Melbourne’s most iconic strips into an open-air celebration spanning surf-punk to South African jazz, Turkish classical to youth Pasifika harmonies.
Roving performances, pop-up acoustic sets and spontaneous dance parties fill the gaps, while Brunswick’s beloved pubs throw open their doors for intimate sets running well into the night.
