The Timber Yard

Calling all NBA fans, your dream event is loading. Australia’s first ever NBA House lands in Melbourne this May, taking over one of the city’s biggest (and best) event spots.  It all kicks off on May 14 at The Timber Yard, with a jam-packed program that will unfold across four days. Expect live NBA playoff viewings, games of NBA 2K26, a 3-on-3 Celebrity game, top-notch food and drink offerings, family-friendly activities and the chance to show off your basketball skills.  Across the four days, there’s a stacked live music line-up to enjoy with sets from DJ Nino Brown on day one, Baker Boy on day two and Tye Turner on day four. Alongside these stellar artists, you can also catch performances from the uber-talented Sacramento Kings Dancers and dunk team. Plus, get the full NBA experience with an appearance from the team’s mascot Slamson (look out for the lion in a purple jersey).  Don’t leave empty handed when you can snag exclusive merch, snap a photo with the Larry O’Brien trophy and meet and greet with major NBA talent including Jaren Jackson Jr. and four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins. Yep, you read that right. Keen? A standard ticket is $53.28 with discounts available to juniors and VIP packages available. Find all the details here.
