2008 Sydney Rd Street Party
The friendliest party in town. Nothing compares to the atmosphere and good vibe of the Sydney Road Street Party when the good citizens of Moreland reclaim the street for one of the biggest multicultural gatherings in Melbourne. It’s a genuine all-ages day, celebrating peace, understanding and cultural diversity. So come and join us for a day of music, song, dance, kids shows, street theatre, culinary delights from around the globe and market stalls to keep you attired, inspired and informed.

Moreland City Council has introduced a local law that prohibits the consumption and possession of alcohol on Sydney Road for the duration of the street party. Consumption of alcohol is therefore restricted to licensed areas only.


Australian Hearing is the nation’s largest provider of hearing services. It delivers services at more than 92 permanent sites and 220 visiting sites around the country and is an industry leader in hearing rehabilitation, technology development and education
