If you only do one thing for this year's Brunswick Music Festival, then make it the famous opening party. This mammoth one-day music festival takes over sprawling Sydney Road, and will spotlight a bunch of musicians playing rock, hip-hop, reggae, soul, jazz, gospel and everything in between.
Taking place on Sunday, March 1, it will feature a massive program of musical acts across multiple stages and venues, stretching between Brunswick Road and Victoria Street.
All your favourite local venues are also getting in on the action, including the Bergy Bandroom, the Retreat, Bar Spontana, Stay Gold and Brunswick Ballroom. Sydney Road will be bursting with energy and every year, without fail, there are multiple spontaneous dance parties.
You can also expect plenty of delicious food, market stalls, roving street performers and more. Plan your day here.
