St Kilda Festival
The St Kilda Festival returns on 15 February 2026, bringing one of Australia’s biggest free music and community festivals back to the St Kilda foreshore. Each year the iconic bayside suburb comes alive with live music across multiple stages, pop up performances, market stalls, food trucks, family activities and beachfront entertainment enjoyed by tens of thousands of visitors.
The festival showcases both well known Australian artists and emerging talent, offering a full day of music and cultural experiences across St Kilda’s parks, streets and waterfront. With the Esplanade, Acland Street and the foreshore packed with energy, the St Kilda Festival is a highlight of Melbourne’s summer event calendar.
With large crowds expected throughout the day, staying in the CBD makes the experience simple and hassle free. Brady Hotels offers comfortable, modern accommodation close to public transport, giving guests easy access to St Kilda as well as Melbourne’s dining, bars and attractions.
