The street festival will celebrate the unique character of the Chapel Street precinct, with areas showcasing fashion, art, music and food.
The Chapel Street Precinct Association will receive $450,000 in funding to deliver the festival, planned for late 2023 – over 20 years after the last street festival was held on the iconic strip. Funding will help cover the costs of running the large-scale event, including equipment hire, health and safety officers, traffic management, permits and other fees.
The return of the Chapel Street Festival builds on the recent funding of a similar festival to be held on High Street, Northcote, with planning for that well underway.
