Sun’s out, fun’s out! If you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy the long weekend, we’ve got a schedule of goodies lined up to keep the family entertained. There’s nothing quite like live music – and from the jazzy Jack Earle Big Band, Mighty Duke & The Lords and Fed Live finalists Taylah Caroll and Franke James, there’s something for everyone live and free on the main stage all weekend long. Bringing the kiddies along too? You’re in luck – family-friendly clowning entertainers Don’t Mess With The Dummies are putting on a free, live show – with free smoothies for the crowd, too! Our Summer of Classic Films continues with a list of home-grown Aussie classics – kick back on our new comfy seating and enjoy Red Dog, The Castle, Muriel’s Wedding, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Bran Nue Day, Australia Daze and Strictly Ballroom! If the sun gets too hot, then we have a treat for you – Collision is our latest interactive art exhibit, made from light projections on a wall of atomised water. From midday until 11:00pm each night, you’re cordially invited to run amok and cool down. As night falls, watch the stunning light projections appear through the mists of water, like magic – as the great Sebastian the Crab once said: everything’s better when it’s wetter. Did you enjoy Fed, Actually? To thank our invaluable frontline workers – and all the people of Victoria – for their hard work and perseverance last year, we’re opening up the Big Screen for your custom messages of goodwill – just pop them in the form below and you might just see it in person at Fed Square! Finally, join us for our livestream of Share the Spirit, a commemoration of the survival of Australia’s First Nations people and a family-friendly day of live music, performances, art and culture. Not to be missed. At Fed Square, we acknowledge that we are gathered on the lands of the Kulin nations. We respect their traditions and embrace their traditional and contemporary expression. What’s On?

A place like Fed Square doesn’t spring up overnight – and it certainly doesn’t come to be where it is today without a swag of fascinating tales in tow. As part of our new look we decided to delve into the past and create some incredible short-form docos on the history and background of Fed Square. You’ll uncover the giant maze that hides beneath the Square, appreciate the engineering marvels and architectural significance that makes us one of the youngest heritage listed sites in the world and you’ll discover our heritage and unusual history that makes our precinct anything but square! These mini-docs shine a light on some of our favourite stories of Fed Square – check them out below! Fed Square is Anything But Square!

Movies, music, and comfy seating, summery sports and sumptuous eating We’re gearing up for the biggest and best summer we’ve ever had at Fed Square, with the most packed schedule of events, movies, music, live sport, fitness, workshops and more that’s ever crossed the square. You can relax and revitalise at Fed Oasis, our brand-new comfy seating and shaded areas, and order food – delivered to you in the square! – from one of our diverse and wonderful restaurants, bars and cafes, and enjoy classic films, live sport and live music by local Melbourne favourites all summer long. We’ve partnered with ACMI for an outdoor cinema silent film series, with live soundtracks by local bands and musicians, and we’re running free fitness sessions, guided workshops and our very own twist on mindful meditation – Mindful Fed-itation, hosted by hilarious local comedians. That’s just the start – check out the full line-up below, and we’ll see you there! Fed Square is Anything But Square!
