This two-day festival, which began in 1978 and was inspired by the commemoration of one thousand years of Spanish language, continues to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Johnston Street, Fitzroy.

Johnston Street Fiesta is a celebration of Hispanic Latin and American culture and brings an infectious fun atmosphere to Fitzroy. This is one of the best street parties in Melbourne.

The celebrations include entertainment on two stages and an amazing array of Spanish and Latin-American cuisine that ranges from smoky barbeques to chocolate covered churros.

The atmosphere is one of infectious high energy. It is an extravaganza of sights, sounds and smells. Dance off those churros at one of the many on-street dance classes, or just enjoy watching Samba from the sidelines.

Join the fun - Saturday 12noon to 10.30pm and Sunday 12noon to 9pm
