With road blocks and increased city traffic, there’s no doubt about it; it’s March and Moomba time in Melbourne. The infamous festival will run from the 9th to the 12th of March this year, with the parade taking place on St Kilda Road for the very first time. Acts include Josh Pyke, the Paper Kites, Owl Eyes and many more- showcasing Australia’s montage of musical talent.
And what would Moomba be without hundreds of people jumping into ice cold water, hoping that wearing a bird suit will deem them the highest flyer? Ah, Birdman.
Three nights worth of fabulous fireworks will light Melbourne’s night skies at 9.30pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
If you weren’t planning on doing much for the long weekend, you are now.
While you’re obviously already convinced, the Moomba iPhone and Android app will surely seal the deal. Check out what’s on and where all from the palm of your hand- making the festivities easier even if you are slightly intoxicated.
Head down this coming weekend to celebrate a great surviving Melbourne traditions.
