Moomba returns from 6– 10 March 2025 with a huge, extra-long weekend of family-friendly fun. Entry is entirely free! We’ve got thrilling carnival rides for the dare devils, dance workshops and live music, kid’s activities, a delicious selection of food truck fare, the much-loved annual community Parade and ridiculously hilarious Birdman Rally, awe-inspiring skatepark and watersports competitions, plus loads more to keep everyone entertained.
A message from the Lord Mayor of Melbourne
The City of Melbourne warmly welcomes you to a colourful weekend of fun, food and frivolity for the 71st Moomba Festival.
Be enthralled by the daring antics of the Birdman Rally, wave to the Moomba Monarchs as they sail through the streets in the iconic parade, and cheer on the water skiers in the Moomba Masters competing on our mighty Yarra River – Birrarung. Families can enjoy a range of free entertainment including skate park competitions, Aboriginal dance performances and the ever-popular silent disco.
We thank everyone involved in the festival for making Moomba such a beloved event that continues to attract record crowds year on year. Moomba is Melbourne’s festival – the people’s festival – and it’s time to celebrate.
Nicholas Reece, Lord Mayor
