2023 Johnston Street Fiesta

Saturday 25 February 2023 - Sunday 26 February 2023

The Johnston Street Fiesta returns to Yarra in February.

One of Yarra’s much-loved cultural events, the Johnston Street Fiesta is a vibrant street festival celebrating heritage, tradition, music and food of the world’s many Spanish speaking countries. It’s the perfect opportunity to come out to Fitzroy and sample delicious food, live music and traditional dance performances and to reconnect with some of our favourite cafes and restaurants in the area.

Now in its 45th year, Fiesta welcomes you to celebrate the cultures of Hispanic and Latin American Culture. Across two days, head down to Johnston Street for eating, dancing and enjoying some of the best local Hispanic and Latin American music.

Road closures will be in place to facilitate the safe delivery of the Johnston Street Fiesta. Some public transport services will also be affected, so when planning your journey please visit the PTV website Journey Planner at Journey planner - Public Transport Victoria (ptv.vic.gov.au)
