The Moomba Festival is a Melbourne
institution. It is Australia’s largest
community festival which attracts
more than one million people each
year. With the famous Moomba Parade,
thrilling Birdman Rally, vibrant carnival
atmosphere and countless free shows and
activities, Moomba truly is the people’s
festival. I hope you enjoy everything this
much-loved event has to offer.

G’day Melbourne! We’re both excited to be
taking a break from the world of cricket and
the Bollywood stage to be your Moomba
King and Queen. With an exhilarating,
action-packed program, Moomba Festival
2015 is geared to embrace everything we
love about our city – its passion for music
and dance, entertainment and sports, and
all by the iconic Yarra River in the heart
of Melbourne. Together let’s see Moomba
awaken our sense of adventure as we make
our way through the five festival precincts
at Alexandra Gardens and Birrarung Marr.

Cheer on as this year’s flock of

in their inventive homemade
flying devices and jump from the
banks of the Yarra to see who
can soar the furthest for charity.
Moomba Parade

Take your place on the sidelines
as community designed floats,
accompanied by droves of
talented performance troupes
and school participants, bring a
flurry of colour and movement
to Melbourne’s St Kilda Road.
