Welcome

Cr Louise Crawford

Mayor, City of Port Phillip

Hello and welcome to the 44th St Kilda Festival!

As Mayor of the City of Port Phillip, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to this incredible celebration of music, culture and community, right here on our beautiful St Kilda foreshore.

We have again curated an exciting two-day program showcasing some of the best talent in Australia. On Saturday, experience the power and beauty of First Peoples First, featuring a stunning line-up of Indigenous artists including Troy Cassar-Daley and Jem Cassar-Daley. Then, get ready for Big Festival Sunday, with iconic acts like Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos, Sarah Blasko, and Cub Sport among the talented performers gracing our stages.

Beyond the music, I encourage you to explore our City’s vibrant shops and cafés, discover hidden artistic gems and enjoy delicious food from around the globe. St Kilda Festival is a true reflection of our diverse community, offering something for everyone – from families and young people to music lovers and culture enthusiasts.

Soak up the vibrant atmosphere, dance to the music, and create lasting memories with your friends and family. A huge thank you to the dedicated team of organisers, sponsors and, of course, the incredible artists who make this event possible.

Let's make the 44th St Kilda Festival the best one yet!
