THE PARTY IS ON AGAIN!
________________________________________
Sunday March 3 2013
12 noon - 7pm
Sydney Road – Union to Victoria Streets, Brunswick
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.
